FAQs
What size tank water heater do I need for my home in Clairfield?
The right size depends on how many people live in your home and your peak‐hour hot-water demand. A family of 3–4 usually needs a 40–50 gallon unit, while larger households may require 60–80 gallons. During our free in-home assessment we calculate your usage patterns, check fixture count, and consider factors such as incoming water temperature and simultaneous appliance use to recommend the properly sized heater so you never run out of hot water.
How long does a standard tank water heater installation take?
Most replacements are completed in about 2–4 hours. This includes draining and removing the old unit, setting the new heater, upgrading any supply lines or venting to current code, filling and purging the tank, and performing a full safety check. If your existing plumbing, gas, or electrical connections need significant modification, the job can extend to the same day but rarely longer than one business day.
Do I need a permit or inspection for a water heater installation in Clairfield, and do you handle it?
Yes. Clairfield follows Tennessee state plumbing and mechanical codes, which require a permit and a final inspection for water heater replacements. Precise Installations Plumbing pulls the permit on your behalf, schedules the inspection, and meets with the inspector to ensure the installation passes the first time—saving you time and possible fines.
What fuel types and brands do you install, and how do I choose the best option?
We install electric, natural-gas, and propane tank water heaters from leading brands such as Bradford White, Rheem, and A.O. Smith. Choice depends on existing utility hookups, desired recovery rate, and operating cost. Electric models are simpler and less expensive up front, while gas or propane units heat water faster and cost less to run long term. During your consultation we compare lifetime energy costs, efficiency ratings, and warranty coverage to help you select the most economical solution.
How much should I budget for a new tank water heater, including installation?
In Clairfield, a typical 40–50 gallon electric installation ranges from $1,200 to $1,600, while comparable gas units average $1,500 to $2,200. Larger-capacity or high-efficiency models can cost up to $2,800. Your exact price depends on tank size, fuel type, venting requirements, and any code upgrades. We provide a firm, itemized quote before any work begins so there are no surprises.
What maintenance and warranty coverage come with my new water heater?
All units we install carry a manufacturer’s tank and parts warranty of 6–12 years, and Precise Installations Plumbing adds a one-year labor warranty on our workmanship. To keep the warranty valid and extend the heater’s life, we recommend draining and flushing the tank annually to remove sediment, testing the temperature-pressure relief valve, and inspecting the anode rod every 3–5 years. We offer affordable maintenance plans that handle these tasks for you and document service history for warranty claims.
