Water Heaters Hanover Park
The plumbing specialists at Ray’s Plumbing, Heating & Air can repair any make and model of water heater your Hanover Park home may have. If you are in need of a water heater replacement, we offer gas and electric water heaters from a small 6-gallon tank to a commercial 120-gallon model.
Water heaters come in two different styles: tank and tankless. Both heat your water, but they do it in different ways. A tank-style water heater stores a given amount of water, usually 40 to 50 gallons, and keeps it heated to the temperature you set it at, sending it along when you open the hot water tap. A tankless system doesn’t store the water and heats it only when you need it by means of a series of super-heated coils.
The most common residential water heater in Hanover Park, Il is a 40-gallon gas type. The new green waters are high-efficiency tankless heaters. We offer several types of tankless water heater products and are specialists when it comes to converting a tank-type water heater to a tankless type.

Electric vs. Gas Water Heaters
Gas water heaters use heat from burning fuel to heat water. Gas heaters are less energy efficient than electric. But, are faster to reheat the water tank than electric water heaters. Electric water heaters use electric water heater coils. Electric water heaters are energy efficient, but typically cost more then gas because electric is more expensive.
Ways To Save On Your Hanover Park Water Bill:
- Take showers instead of baths. Take a shower instead of filling the bath with lots of hot water. Even a couple inches uses a lot of hot water.
- Limit shower time: If you cut time on your showers, you will be saving a lot of hot water in your Hanover Park home. Be sure to keep the fan on while you shower to control the steam in the bathroom.
- Don’t let water run. While you are brushing your teeth, be sure to turn the water off. Keeping it turned off will save you money on your water bill.
- Use cold water. When doing laundry, use cold water as much as possible.
- Don’t run your dishwasher if it is not full. Wait until it is full to start a load to use less water.
- Upgrade to an energy efficient water heater! If your water heater is old, there is a good chance it’s not energy efficient. Upgrading to a new water heater will help reduce the cost of your Hanover Park water bill.
