Why Tank Water Heaters Are Still a Top Choice

Tank-style water heaters remain the most common choice for residential homes in Huntley. Known for their simplicity, reliability, and lower upfront cost, they provide hot water from a large storage tank, typically between 40 to 75 gallons, and deliver it directly to your plumbing fixtures as needed.

Benefits of tank water heaters:

  • Lower initial cost than tankless models
  • Simple operation and proven design
  • Hot water stored and ready when needed
  • Easy to maintain and service
  • Works well with standard plumbing and gas/electric setups
  • Compatible with recirculation systems for faster delivery
  • Available in natural gas, propane, and electric models

If your home has multiple users or high daily hot water usage, a properly sized tank model offers reliable performance with straightforward maintenance.

Bradford White Water Heaters – Our Brand of Choice

Hansen proudly installs Bradford White tank water heaters, known for their quality craftsmanship, advanced features, and strong warranties. As a U.S.-based manufacturer, Bradford White offers systems that are built to last and designed for real-world performance.

Why we recommend Bradford White:

  • Advanced DEFENDER Safety System® on gas models
  • ICON System™ gas control with intelligent diagnostics
  • Durable Vitraglas® tank lining to resist corrosion
  • Factory-installed dielectric fittings to reduce leaks
  • ENERGY STAR® models for energy savings
  • Long-life elements on electric models
  • Built for professional installation—no big box shortcuts

We'll help you choose a gas or electric unit based on your home's layout, water demand, and energy source.

Our Tank Water Heater Installation Process

Replacing or installing a new tank water heater doesn't have to be disruptive. Hansen's licensed plumbers follow a proven process to ensure proper performance, long-term safety, and local code compliance.

What to expect:

We follow a proven process:

  • In-home consultation to evaluate system needs
  • Tank sizing based on household size and hot water usage
  • Review of fuel source (natural gas, propane, or electric)
  • Removal and proper disposal of old unit
  • Installation of new tank with all required fittings
  • Pressure relief valve and expansion tank (as needed)
  • Leak, vent, and combustion safety checks

We treat your home with respect—using drop cloths, cleaning up after ourselves, and completing installations the right way the first time.

Signs You Need to Replace Your Water Heater

Most tank-style water heaters last 8 to 12 years. Even if your system is still running, it may be using extra energy or heading toward a leak. These warning signs can signal the need for replacement:

Common symptoms include:

  • Rust-colored hot water
  • No hot water or reduced recovery rate
  • Loud popping or rumbling noises from the tank
  • Water pooling around the base of the unit
  • Inconsistent temperatures
  • Higher-than-usual utility bills
  • Pilot light or igniter issues
  • Repeated repair needs in a short period

If you notice any of these, Hansen can assess your system and recommend the best course of action—repair or replacement.

Choosing the Right Size Tank for Your Home

Tank water heaters must be sized properly to ensure you always have enough hot water—without wasting energy on an oversized system.

We'll size your new system based on:

  • Number of bathrooms
  • Number of household members
  • Simultaneous water use (showers, laundry, dishwasher)
  • Peak usage times (e.g., mornings or evenings)
  • Available space for installation
  • Fuel type and efficiency preferences

Common sizes for Huntley homes range from 40-gallon to 75-gallon models, with options for both gas and electric configurations.

Fuel Type Options: Gas vs. Electric

Hansen installs both gas and electric tank water heaters and will help you determine which is best for your home based on your current utility setup, operating costs, and hot water needs.

Gas Water Heaters

  • Heats water faster than electric models
  • More cost-effective if natural gas is available
  • Works during power outages (in many models)
  • Slightly higher upfront cost

Electric Water Heaters

  • Lower upfront cost
  • Easy to install where gas is not available
  • Often used in apartments, condos, or additions
  • Typically slower recovery times

We'll review the pros and cons of each to help you make the right long-term investment.

Energy Efficiency & Long-Term Savings

New tank water heaters are significantly more efficient than older models. Upgrading to a modern Bradford White unit can help reduce your monthly bills and even qualify for rebates or tax credits.

Energy-efficient features:

  • Foam insulation to reduce standby heat loss
  • ENERGY STAR® rated models
  • High-efficiency electric heating elements
  • Smart diagnostics for optimal operation
  • Factory-installed insulation blankets (select models)

We'll walk you through available rebate programs and help you register for warranties and energy savings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tank Water Heater Installation in Huntley, IL

Most tank-style water heaters last 8 to 12 years, depending on water quality, usage habits, and maintenance. If your unit is 10 years or older, it may be time to consider a replacement—especially if you're noticing rust, leaks, or slow recovery times.

We size your water heater based on your household's hot water demand. A 40–50 gallon unit is usually sufficient for 1–3 people, while larger families often need 50–75 gallon models. We'll assess your usage patterns, number of bathrooms, and peak demand times to recommend the ideal size.

Gas water heaters heat faster and are usually more cost-effective if your home already uses natural gas. Electric water heaters are simpler to install and work well in areas without gas service. We install both and will help you decide which is best for your needs and energy usage.
