FAQs
What types of water heaters do you service in Farragut?
Our licensed plumbers work on all common water-heater configurations found in Farragut homes and businesses, including traditional gas and electric storage tanks (20–120 gallons), high-efficiency hybrid heat-pump models, and both indoor and outdoor tankless (on-demand) units. We also handle indirect, point-of-use, and commercial water-heating systems.
How can I tell if my water heater needs repair or replacement?
Warning signs include inconsistent water temperature, rumbling or popping noises, rusty or discolored water, visible leaks around the tank, a rotten-egg odor (gas heaters), and rising energy bills. Units older than 10–12 years often benefit more from replacement than repair, especially if the tank is corroding or efficiency has dropped significantly.
How long does it take to install a new water heater in Farragut?
A like-for-like tank replacement typically takes 2–4 hours, including draining the old unit, securing all gas, water, and vent connections, and bringing the system up to Knox County code. Converting from tank to tankless or relocating the heater can extend the job to a full day because we may need to upsize gas lines, reroute exhaust venting, or upgrade electrical service.
Are tankless water heaters a good option for my Farragut home?
Tankless units provide endless hot water and save 20–40 % on energy costs compared with standard tanks. They’re ideal if you have space constraints, high hot-water demands, or want a system that can last 20+ years. However, the upfront investment is higher, and some homes require gas-line or electrical upgrades. We offer free on-site evaluations to confirm sizing and return-on-investment for your specific household.
What maintenance should I perform to extend my water heater’s life?
Flush the tank or heat exchanger annually to remove sediment common in Farragut’s moderately hard water, test the temperature-pressure relief (TPR) valve, inspect anode rods every 2–3 years, keep the thermostat set at 120 °F for safety and efficiency, and ensure adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation. We offer affordable maintenance plans that include these tasks and a comprehensive safety check.
