What the reviews say
Water heater replacement & service
One reviewer praised a tankless water heater installed with new HVAC and dehumidification equipment and said the company stands behind what it sells.
Yelp reviewers said a son's heater was replaced with a 50-gallon power-vent tank for $4,200 without the cost being discussed (2026), a technician recommended replacement without inspecting a tank that later worked after a flush (2026), and a heater Summers installed was called for replacement just out of warranty and a $59 fee was charged despite a service plan (2025); no company responses were captured.

Four Yelp reviews (2019-2026) from the Valparaiso listing and an older Crown Point listing (1312 N Main St); the Glendale Heights and current Crown Point listings had no water heater mentions. Summers operates in several states, and only Chicago-area listings were used. BBB and Angi were not checked in detail.
Yelp review
David C. · May 24, 2026
The reviewer said a night call to replace their son's water heater was cancelled hours later; the next day the crew installed a 50-gallon power-vent tank instead of a 40-gallon one without telling the household the cost, and charged $4,200 to the card left for payment.
Yelp review
Robert A. · Jun 10, 2026
The reviewer said no one gave an arrival window, the technician came while they were out, asked the tank's age without looking at it and said it needed replacing; they said the heater worked fine after they flushed it themselves.
Yelp review
Lisa C. · Feb 8, 2025
The reviewer said a technician relit the pilot on a heater Summers had installed, then said it was a month out of warranty and should be replaced; they said second opinions found no issue and that they were charged $59 despite a service contract.
Yelp review
J C. · Oct 31, 2019
The reviewer said Summers installed a tankless water heater along with a new HVAC system and whole-home dehumidifier, and that they were very happy with the work and the company's backing of its products.
Company reply and outcome: Customer service thanked the reviewer.
Ask before booking: Ask for the tank size, venting type and total price in writing and approved before installation begins, and ask for an arrival window.
