FAQs
What does a “mess-free” tank water-heater replacement actually mean?
Our mess-free pledge means we protect your home from dust, water, and debris at every stage of the replacement. We lay down drop cloths, use shoe covers, drain and disconnect the old heater without spilling, and haul the tank away immediately. When we leave, the work area will be as clean—or cleaner—than when we arrived.
How long will it take to replace my existing tank water heater in Evensville?
Most standard replacements are completed in 2–4 hours. This includes draining and removing the old unit, installing the new heater, reconnecting water and gas/electric lines, filling and purging the system, and performing a full safety/temperature check. If code upgrades (expansion tank, vent resizing, sediment trap, etc.) are required, the visit can extend to about 5 hours.
Will I be without hot water during the replacement?
Yes, hot-water service is interrupted once we shut off the old heater and will remain off until the new unit is installed, filled, and heated. For gas models, you can usually run the first hot shower within 45–60 minutes after we finish. Electric models may take 1–2 hours to reach set temperature.
What size or capacity tank should I choose for my household?
Sizing depends on household occupancy and usage patterns. A family of 1–2 typically needs a 30–40-gallon tank, 3–4 people usually require 40–50 gallons, and households of 5+ should consider 50–75 gallons. We also calculate First-Hour Rating (FHR) to match peak demand (morning showers, laundry, etc.). Our technician will review your fixtures, flow rates, and local climate when recommending the optimal size.
How much does a mess-free water-heater replacement cost in Evensville?
Installed pricing for standard 40–50-gallon tanks in Evensville generally ranges from $1,100 to $1,800 for gas and $950 to $1,500 for electric models. The quote includes new tank, labor, haul-away, disposal fees, vent or flex-line upgrades, and permit filing. High-efficiency or power-vent units, difficult access, or code-required changes can increase the total. We provide upfront, written estimates so there are no surprises.
Do you pull permits and meet local plumbing codes?
Absolutely. Evensville and Rhea County require permits for water-heater replacements. We handle the permit application, perform the installation to current IPC and manufacturer specifications, schedule any needed inspections, and supply the final paperwork for your records. This protects your warranty, ensures safety, and keeps you compliant with homeowners-insurance requirements.
