FAQs
Do your licensed technicians service all brands of tank water heaters in Harrison?
Yes. Our state-licensed plumbers are factory-trained to diagnose, repair, and replace gas, electric, and hybrid tank-style water heaters from every major manufacturer, including Rheem, A. O. Smith, Bradford White, State, GE, and more. We carry common OEM parts on our service vehicles so most repairs can be completed during the first visit.
How fast can you respond to a leaking water heater emergency?
In Harrison we provide 24/7 emergency dispatch. A technician is typically on-site within 60–90 minutes of your call, day or night. Because leaks can cause severe water damage and pose scalding or electrical hazards, we prioritize shut-off, safe drainage, and immediate repairs or replacement as needed.
What signs indicate my tank water heater needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Replacement is usually recommended when your unit is 10–12+ years old and you notice any of the following: (1) rust-colored or sandy water, (2) persistent rumbling or popping sounds from heavy sediment buildup, (3) recurring pilot-light or heating-element failures, (4) visible corrosion or leaks on the tank shell, or (5) mounting energy bills due to declining efficiency. Our technicians will perform a full inspection and give you an honest repair-vs-replace estimate before any work starts.
Can you help me choose the right size tank water heater for my Harrison home?
Absolutely. We calculate proper tank capacity based on the number of occupants, simultaneous hot-water activities (showers, laundry, dishwasher), first-hour rating, and fuel type. For example, a family of four usually benefits from a 50- or 55-gallon gas unit, while larger households or high-demand situations might require 75 gallons or a dual-tank setup. We’ll also review local energy rebates and code requirements to ensure maximum efficiency and compliance.
What warranties do you provide on new tank water heater installations?
All new installations come with the manufacturer’s limited tank and parts warranty—typically 6, 9, or 12 years—plus our own 1-year labor warranty covering workmanship. Extended labor coverage up to 5 years is available. Because our plumbers are licensed and insured, failing components replaced under warranty won’t void coverage, and we handle all paperwork directly with the manufacturer.
Are there any local permits or code requirements for replacing a water heater in Harrison?
Yes. The Town of Harrison follows New York State Residential Code (or New Jersey Plumbing Code, depending on jurisdiction) requiring a plumbing permit for water heater replacement. This ensures proper venting, seismic strapping, pressure-relief valve piping, and expansion tank installation where applicable. Our team pulls the permit, schedules the inspection, and provides you with a certificate of compliance once the job passes, so you’re fully up to code and protected by homeowners insurance.
