Common questions about water heater replacement in Vernon Hills.
Replace your water heater in Vernon Hills when it is over 10 to 12 years old, produces rusty or discolored water indicating internal corrosion, leaks from the tank body, requires frequent repairs, or no longer meets your household hot water demand. A water heater approaching these conditions often fails unexpectedly — replacement before failure avoids an emergency.
Yes. Phoenician Plumbing converts tank water heater systems to tankless in Vernon Hills, IL. The conversion requires confirming adequate gas supply capacity or electrical service, installing proper venting for the new unit, and making connection changes. Our plumbers assess your existing infrastructure and advise on what is required for a successful tankless conversion at your Vernon Hills home.
For a tank water heater, the right size depends on the number of occupants: 30 to 40 gallons for 1 to 2 people, 40 to 50 gallons for 3 to 4 people, and 50 to 80 gallons for larger households. For tankless units, the required flow rate in GPM determines the correct unit size. Phoenician Plumbing assesses your household demand and recommends the right unit for your Vernon Hills home.
Extend the life of your new water heater in Vernon Hills by flushing the tank annually to remove sediment, replacing the anode rod every 3 to 5 years, setting the thermostat to 120°F to reduce mineral buildup and tank stress, and inspecting the T&P valve annually. Phoenician Plumbing offers annual water heater maintenance service in Vernon Hills to keep your unit running efficiently.
