FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for my tank water heater service in Cowan?
Up-front pricing means you receive the exact cost of your tank water heater installation, replacement, or repair before any work begins. The figure we quote already includes labor, materials, travel to your Cowan address, required fittings, and taxes. There are no hidden fees or post-job surprises—if the scope of work doesn’t change, the price you approved is the price you pay.
How much does a typical tank water heater installation cost with your up-front pricing model?
Prices vary by tank size (30- to 80-gallon), fuel type (electric, natural gas, propane), and any code upgrades needed in Cowan, but most residential installations fall between $1,100 and $2,300. The quote we give you on-site lists the water heater make and model, new shut-off valves, seismic strapping, pan, expansion tank (if required), and haul-away for the old unit, so you can see how every dollar is allocated before you authorize the job.
Do you service and install all brands and sizes of tank water heaters?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers are factory-trained to work on all major brands sold in Cowan—Rheem, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, State, Whirlpool, and others—in sizes ranging from compact 20-gallon units for apartments to 100-gallon commercial models. If you’re unsure which capacity you need, we perform a free sizing assessment based on household occupancy, peak-hour demand, and efficiency goals.
How long does a standard tank water heater installation or replacement take?
Most replacements are completed the same day in 2–4 hours. We drain and disconnect your old tank, update supply lines, set the new heater, connect venting or electrical, fill, purge air, and test for leaks and proper operation. First-time installations that require new gas lines, venting, or electrical circuits may extend the job to 4–6 hours, but your plumber will outline the timeline during the initial visit.
Are permits and disposal of the old tank included in the quoted price?
Absolutely. Cowan and Franklin County require a plumbing permit and, for gas units, a final inspection. We file and pay for those permits, schedule the inspector, and include the cost in your up-front price. We also remove and recycle your old tank at an approved facility at no extra charge, leaving your utility room clean and code-compliant.
What warranties and guarantees come with your tank water heater installations?
Every new tank water heater we install carries the manufacturer’s parts warranty—typically 6 to 12 years on the tank and 1 year on labor. In addition, our company provides a 2-year workmanship guarantee covering any installation-related issues, plus a 100% satisfaction pledge: if a post-installation problem arises within the warranty period, we return to Cowan to make it right at no cost to you.
