FAQs
What does “flat-rate pricing” mean for a tank water heater service in Fayetteville?
Flat-rate pricing means you pay one upfront, all-inclusive price for the specific service you choose—whether it’s a standard 40- or 50-gallon gas or electric tank installation, a flush and maintenance visit, or a diagnostic repair. The quoted amount already factors in labor, travel, permits for the City of Fayetteville, disposal of the old tank, and standard hookup materials, so you don’t have to worry about hourly charges or surprise add-ons when the job is finished.
What services are covered by your flat-rate tank water heater installation package?
Our flat-rate package includes: removal and environmentally responsible disposal of your old tank; delivery of a new ENERGY STAR®-rated water heater sized for your household; new gas flex line or electrical whip, dielectric unions, and water shut-off valve; any code-required expansion tank or seismic straps; city permit acquisition and inspection scheduling; complete installation and start-up; cleanup of the work area; and haul-away of all debris. Everything needed for a standard replacement is in the price, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Are there any situations where I would pay more than the flat rate?
Only if site conditions fall outside what’s considered a standard installation. Examples include relocating the heater to a new part of the home, upgrading to a larger capacity that requires re-piping or electrical panel work, correcting pre-existing code violations, or adding a dedicated drain pan and new drain line where none existed. If our technician discovers any of these issues during the free on-site evaluation, you’ll receive a written change order BEFORE work begins, and you can accept or decline. No hidden fees ever appear on the final invoice.
How soon can you replace a failed water heater in the Fayetteville area?
We keep the most common tank sizes (40-, 50-, and 55-gallon gas and electric models) stocked locally, so in most cases we can provide same-day or next-day replacements within Fayetteville city limits and surrounding Cumberland County. Emergency service lines are monitored 24/7; if you call before noon, we can usually install your new heater that very afternoon, weather and permit office hours permitting.
What kind of warranty do you offer on tank water heater installations?
All water heaters we install come with the manufacturer’s full tank and parts warranty—typically 6, 9, or 12 years depending on the model—PLUS our own 2-year labor warranty that covers workmanship, leak repairs, and code-related adjustments. If anything we installed fails within that period, we return at no additional cost. Extended labor warranties up to 5 years are available for a small flat fee at the time of installation.
How do I decide whether to repair or replace my existing tank water heater?
Age and condition are the biggest factors. In Fayetteville’s mineral-rich water, tanks older than 8-10 years often suffer from internal corrosion and sediment buildup that make repair uneconomical. If the tank itself is leaking or the repair estimate exceeds 50% of the cost of a new unit, we recommend replacement. However, for issues like a faulty thermostat, heating element, or gas valve on a relatively young heater (under 6 years old), a flat-rate repair is usually more cost-effective. Our technician will present both options with clear pricing so you can make an informed decision.
