Hot Water Only diagnoses and repairs residential tank water heaters throughout Chicago's suburbs. We work on gas and electric units, including atmospheric, power-vent and direct-vent systems, and we recommend replacement only when repair no longer makes practical sense.
What this service covers
- No hot water
- Leaking tank or fittings
- Pilot and burner problems
- Relief-valve and thermostat issues
Diagnosis before parts
We start with the symptom, the unit's age and condition, and a focused diagnostic. You get a repair-versus-replacement explanation before work proceeds.
What we repair
Common repairable problems include thermostats, heating elements, thermocouples, gas-control issues, burners, venting components, valves and certain leaks outside the tank.
When repair is the wrong call
A leaking tank, extensive corrosion, repeated failures or a repair that approaches the value of an aging unit can make replacement the more responsible option.
