Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsWhy Is My Water Heater Not Heating Up Despite Resetting the Button?
After a reset, no heat usually points to a failed heating element or thermostat on electric units. Gas models often have burner or pilot issues, or a gas supply problem that needs leak testing. Heavy sediment can insulate the tank and stop heating. Faulty valves or worn seals can also disrupt temperature. Tankless units may be miscalibrated or undersized for the flow rate. We strongly advise against DIY water heater repairs. A licensed Green Air Care plumber can diagnose and fix this same day in Chicago.

If water is leaking from the top, shut off power and water, then schedule service. Switch the breaker off for electric units. Set the gas control to off for gas units. Close the cold-water shutoff valve. Dry the top and check for drips at the cold inlet, hot outlet, T&P valve connection, or fittings. Avoid DIY gas work.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all price. Replacement cost depends on your water heater type and site conditions, and we confirm final pricing after an in-home assessment. Green Air Care provides free replacement estimates, financing options, and a $250 OFF Water Heater Replacement coupon (conditions apply). Same-day replacement is available in areas like Glenview and Chicago.
Cost factors to consider:
- Tank vs. tankless; gas vs. electric
- Size/flow rate and efficiency
- Venting or electrical/gas updates
- Disposal of old unit and code upgrades

Water heater repair cost varies by the issue and will be confirmed after an on‑site diagnosis. Factors include system type (gas, electric, tank, tankless), parts needed, sediment buildup, and leak severity. If your tank is 8–12 years old, replacement may be more cost‑effective. We offer same‑day service on all brands, safe gas testing and electrical disconnects, and free estimates for replacements with financing options.
Quick checks before we arrive:
- Note the heater type and age.
- List symptoms (no hot water, leaks, odors).
- Shut off gas/electric and water if leaking.

No. We strongly advise against DIY water heater work. Gas units require gas line assessments and thorough leak testing before activation. Electric units require safe disconnects and proper grounding. Professional installation also includes sizing, removal and eco‑friendly disposal of the old unit, precise calibration, and final commissioning. We service all brands and offer same‑day help across Chicago-area communities like Glenview and Evanston.
- Call if you see leaks, rust‑colored water, inconsistent temperatures, or the unit is 8–12 years old.
