Just like the AC, your water heater is one of those appliances that you don’t really think about until it stops working. But when it does go out, it’s an emergency. You need to take a shower, do the dishes, wash your clothes and behind the scenes your water heater maintains your entire water system throughout your house. It really is not a commodity that a household this day in age can do without.
Get Service Right Away
When your water heater breaks, you need someone to come out and fix it right away. A company that comes out and inspects the system, just to give you an expensive quote for a repair two weeks out isn’t going to cut it. Do you think you can go two weeks without a hot shower, clean dishes or fresh clothes? Not many people can, so the first thing you need to ask when talking to a water heater repair company is if they have common water heater repair parts on their service vehicles. You need a company that will come out any time day or night to give you a quote and actually fix the problem with the correct part right then.
Finding the Best Company
Finding the best company to perform water heater repair Chicago area can be daunting; but it doesn’t have to be. Get a pen and paper; you will need it. The first thing you need to do is go look at your water heater. Write down the brand, model number and manufacture year if you can find it. Then you need to evaluate the extent of the problem if you can. Is the water getting warm at all? Do you see a pilot light (typically under the unit)? Are you hearing any noises coming from the water heater? These are all important notes to convey to any water heater repair company you speak with. You will want to call several different repair companies just to make sure you are getting the best service and price available. Always ask how soon they can come out to evaluate your appliance and if they carry parts on their service vehicles for your brand and model water heater. This will cut down on revisits, and prolonged repairs.
