FAQs

What size tank water heater do I need for my Jacksboro home?

Sizing depends on how many people live in the home and your peak-hour hot-water demand. A family of 1-2 usually needs a 30–40-gallon unit, 3-4 people need 40–50 gallons, and larger households may require 50–80 gallons. Our licensed technicians will calculate your exact needs by evaluating fixture count, simultaneous usage, and desired recovery rate, then recommend the right capacity to keep you supplied without wasting energy.

How long does a typical tank water heater last?

In Jacksboro’s hard-water climate, a conventional gas or electric tank water heater averages 8–12 years of service when properly maintained. Factors such as water quality, annual flushing, and installation workmanship all affect lifespan. We offer routine maintenance plans and high-quality anode rod replacements that can extend usable life toward the 12-year end—sometimes longer.

Are permits required in Jacksboro for water heater replacement?

Yes. Jack County follows the Texas State Plumbing Code, which requires a permit and inspection whenever a water heater is installed or replaced. As a fully licensed plumbing contractor, we secure the permit, schedule the city or county inspection, and ensure all safety devices—such as T&P valve, thermal expansion control, drip pan, and seismic strapping (if applicable)—meet local code before we leave.

What maintenance is recommended to extend the lifespan of my tank water heater?

1. Drain and flush the tank at least once a year to remove sediment. 2. Inspect and, if necessary, replace the anode rod every 2–4 years. 3. Test the temperature & pressure relief valve annually. 4. Check for signs of corrosion or moisture around fittings and the base. 5. Keep the thermostat set at 120 °F to reduce scaling and energy use. We offer affordable maintenance visits that cover all of these tasks and provide a full written report.

How quickly can Licensed Pros Plumbing respond to an emergency water heater leak?
