Water Heater Installation

If you're ready to add a new water heater to your home, or if you're in the process of building a new home, call Lindemann Heating & Cooling for licensed water heater installation services.

We install a full range of top-performing water heaters throughout Chicago’s North Shore and northern suburban area. We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured for your protection.

Installation Options

You can choose either a tank water heater or a tankless water heater for your installation. Both styles will provide you with plenty of hot water, but there are differences in configuration, operation, and cost.

Here’s an overview of both types of appliances.

Tank Water Heater Installation

As the name implies, tank water heaters include water storage tanks with capacities ranging from 40 to 120 gallons. When installing this type of system, we'll assess your hot water needs and recommend a tank size that meets them.

While tank water heaters are generally less expensive, installation costs are often higher due to the additional components. A new gas line and electrical system upgrades, if needed, can add to the price.

Tank water heaters last around 12 years with proper maintenance and timely repairs.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

More and more homeowners in the greater Chicago, IL, area are going with tankless water heaters that heat water on demand rather than pulling it from a storage tank. When built well and properly installed, tankless models can last up to 20 years.

Compared with tank water heaters, the advantages of a tankless water heater installation include:

• Greater energy efficiency
• Longer life
• Less installation space required
• On-demand heating means you’re never without hot water
• No tank to hold bacteria and mineral deposit buildups
