FAQs
What does "up-front pricing" mean for my tank water-heater service in Kodak?
Up-front pricing means we give you the total cost of the job—including parts, labor, tax, and any permit fees—before any work begins. You approve the written quote in advance, so there are no hidden charges, overtime add-ons, or surprise line items when the project is finished.
How much should I expect to pay for a standard tank water-heater replacement?
In Kodak the average 40–50-gallon natural-gas or electric tank replacement runs between $1,100 and $1,800. The exact figure depends on the tank size, fuel type, energy-efficiency rating, ease of access, code upgrades (such as expansion tanks or seismic strapping), and whether we have to move or enlarge venting or electrical circuits. All of these variables are factored into your up-front quote.
Can you repair my existing tank water heater instead of replacing it?
Absolutely. We always start with a diagnostic inspection to determine whether a component such as the thermostat, heating element, gas valve, or T&P relief valve can be repaired economically. If the tank is less than 8–10 years old and not leaking, a repair is often the most cost-effective choice. If the inner tank is corroded or leaking, replacement is usually the safer long-term solution, and we’ll explain both options—including costs—before you decide.
How long will the installation or replacement take?
Most straight tank-to-tank replacements in Kodak are completed in three to five hours once the new heater is on-site. Jobs that require additional electrical work, vent re-routing, or relocating the unit can take up to a full day. We schedule a two-hour arrival window and let you know in advance if we anticipate any delays.
Do I need a permit for a water-heater replacement in Kodak, TN?
Yes. Sevier County and the State of Tennessee require a plumbing and, in some cases, an electrical or mechanical permit for water-heater installation. As a licensed contractor we handle the paperwork, pay the permit fee, and arrange any required inspections, all of which are included in your up-front price.
What warranties and maintenance options do you offer?
Every new tank water heater we install comes with the manufacturer’s 6- or 10-year tank and parts warranty and our own one-year labor warranty. For added peace of mind, you can enroll in our annual maintenance plan, which includes a flush and safety check, priority scheduling, and discounted repairs to help your heater reach its full life expectancy.
