Replacing a water heater in Hanover Park.
Hanover Park requires a permit to replace a water heater. The Fire Department's Inspectional Services Division handles it and charges $12 for every $1,000 of work, at least $50 for a home. ComEd supplies power, Nicor Gas supplies gas, and the village runs its own water utility. You can do the work yourself if you sign an affidavit. The inspector has to come inside, so someone must be home.
