ARS®/Rescue Rooter® Chicago was founded with the goal of providing the highest quality air conditioning, heating, insulation, and plumbing services to our customers.

Our company offers a dependable 24/7 emergency service that is designed to meet your needs, whenever they may arise.
"DO NOT HIRE ARS !!!!!!!!!! Extremely disappointed with ARS. We were misquoted on a major sewer line repair ? their technician gave us a firm price without fully inspecting the line, only to come back later with an additional $7,499 estimate after the job was supposedly finished. We also had a basement flood due to a pipe left open by their tech, which cost us time off work and stress. Despite multiple visits, miscommunications, and promises, we still had unresolved issues weeks later. Even the contract stated 2?10 ft of pipe would be replaced, but only 7 ft was done per the permit. When we raised concerns, ARS gave us the runaround. This was a frustrating, expensive experience, and we feel taken advantage of. We trusted their expertise and got poor service instead. It has been almost a month and they have NOT SOLVED OUR PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!"

"Vaclav Valek is the owner, he was one of 5 contractors I hired to provide professional advice on how to fix framing in the attic. One of the contractors never called back, and several others provided much different solutions. He provided the most honest solution without charging an arm an leg. Since I was under severe budget constraints he worked with me and had me gather the materials saving time and money for the both of us. He performed the work in one afternoon and provided good communication throughout the process."

Yes, although they have a higher upfront cost compared to traditional units, tankless water heaters can be worth the investment for many homeowners. They heat water on demand, eliminating standby energy losses and leading to 24% to 34% greater energy efficiency for homes using up to 41 gallons of hot water daily. Tankless units last longer—around 20 years with proper maintenance—and require less space than traditional units. They also reduce the risk of leaks and water damage since there's no tank to corrode and fail.
Tankless water heaters, including gas-powered models, do require electricity to operate components like the ignition and control systems. This means they won't function during a power outage. If you live in an area prone to outages and want to ensure a continuous hot water supply, consider installing a battery backup system or generator to keep your tankless water heater running when the power goes out.
You should set your tankless water heater to 120 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal safety and efficiency, as recommended by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Setting the temperature at 120 degrees prevents scalding accidents, particularly for children and the elderly, and reduces energy consumption. Temperatures above 140 degrees increase the risk of burns and promote mineral buildup, which can decrease the system's efficiency.
A 20-minute shower uses 50 to 60 gallons of water, assuming a flow rate of 2.5 to 3 gallons per minute. A typical whole-house tankless water heater can produce 4 to 8 gallons of hot water per minute, providing continuous hot water for long showers. By installing low-flow showerheads and reducing shower time, you decrease water consumption and energy costs, maximizing the efficiency of your tankless system.
With proper maintenance, a tankless water heater lasts around 20 years, significantly longer than conventional tank water heaters, which last between 8 and 12 years. Regular inspections and timely repairs can further extend its lifespan. To keep your tankless system operating efficiently, have it inspected or serviced annually and address any minor issues promptly by contacting a local tankless water heater repair service.
