FAQs
What types of water heaters do you service and install in Corryton?
Our licensed plumbers handle all major water-heater styles—traditional gas and electric tank units, high-efficiency heat-pump models, and modern tankless (on-demand) systems. We can repair existing units, replace outdated equipment, or design and install a new system sized specifically for your home’s hot-water needs and Corryton’s local building codes.
How quickly can you respond to a no-hot-water emergency?
We offer 24/7 emergency service in Corryton and the surrounding Knox County area. Most calls received before noon can be handled the same day. Our fully stocked service vans carry the most common heating elements, thermostats, gas valves, and ignition parts so we can restore hot water on the first visit whenever possible.
What are the signs that my water heater needs professional attention?
Watch for lukewarm or fluctuating water temperature, rumbling or popping noises (often caused by sediment buildup), rusty-colored water, visible leaks around the tank or relief valve, and an age of 10 years or more. Addressing these issues early can prevent sudden failure, water damage, and higher energy bills.
Is a tankless water heater a good option for my Corryton home?
If you have limited space, high hot-water demand, or want to reduce energy costs, a tankless unit can be an excellent choice. These systems heat water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby heat loss from a storage tank and typically lowering utility bills by 20–40 %. They also last longer (20+ years) and can qualify for federal tax credits. We offer a free in-home assessment to confirm proper gas line capacity, venting requirements, and overall cost-benefit.
Do I need a permit for water-heater replacement, and will you handle it?
Yes. Knox County requires a plumbing permit and inspection for water-heater replacements to ensure safety, correct venting, and compliance with current code. Our team pulls the permit, schedules the inspection, and provides you with documentation, so you don’t have to manage any paperwork.
How can I extend the life of my current water heater?
Annual maintenance is key. We recommend flushing the tank once a year to remove sediment, testing the temperature-pressure relief valve, checking for leaks at fittings, and inspecting or replacing the anode rod every 3–5 years. Setting the thermostat to 120 °F reduces scald risk and slows mineral buildup. We offer affordable maintenance plans for Corryton homeowners that include all of these services.
