FAQs
What types of water heaters do you install and repair in Jacksboro?
Our licensed plumbers service all major water-heater technologies used in Jacksboro, including traditional gas and electric storage tanks (20–120 gallons), high-efficiency power-vent and direct-vent models, tankless on-demand systems, and hybrid electric heat-pump units. We handle complete installation, replacement, troubleshooting, and warranty repairs for Rheem, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, Rinnai, Navien, and other leading brands.
How can I tell whether my current water heater needs to be replaced instead of repaired?
A unit that is over 10–12 years old, delivers rusty or sandy water, makes popping or rumbling noises, leaks around the base, or fails to provide sufficient hot water even after thermostat adjustments is usually nearing the end of its life. If the tank itself is corroded or the cost of parts and labor exceeds about half the price of a new unit, replacement is the more economical and safer choice. Our technicians will perform a full diagnostic and provide an upfront estimate so you can make an informed decision.
Are tankless water heaters a good option for homes in Jacksboro?
Yes—Jacksboro’s mild winters and relatively stable groundwater temperatures make tankless systems very efficient here. They supply endless hot water, save 20–40 % on energy bills, and free up floor space. However, they require proper sizing to meet simultaneous shower, laundry, and kitchen demands, plus annual descaling due to our moderately hard water. We perform a flow-rate analysis of your fixtures, install gas line or electrical upgrades if needed, and offer maintenance plans to maximize life expectancy (20+ years).
What regular maintenance does my water heater require and how often?
For tank models, we recommend draining and flushing the tank once a year to remove sediment, checking the anode rod every 2–3 years, testing the temperature-pressure relief (TPR) valve annually, and inspecting all gas/electrical connections for safety. Tankless units should be descaled every 12 months (more often with hard water) and have their air intake filter cleaned quarterly. Routine maintenance extends the unit’s life, maintains energy efficiency, and preserves the manufacturer’s warranty.
How long does a typical water heater installation take and do you handle permits?
A straightforward replacement of a same-size tank model usually takes 2–3 hours, including removal of the old unit, new connections, leak testing, and haul-away. Switching to a different fuel type, upgrading to tankless, or bringing venting and seismic straps up to current code can extend the job to 4–6 hours. We secure any necessary city or county permits, coordinate inspections, and provide you with all documentation for warranty and insurance purposes.
