FAQs
What size tank water heater do I need for my Lenoir City home?
The right size depends on the number of people in your household and your simultaneous hot-water demands. A family of 2–3 usually does well with a 40-gallon tank, while 4–5 people typically need 50–55 gallons. If you run multiple appliances at once—such as showers, the dishwasher, and the washing machine—we may recommend a high-recovery 65- or 75-gallon unit. During our free on-site assessment, we measure peak demand, check incoming water temperature, and review space constraints to make sure you never run out of hot water while keeping energy costs in check.
How long does a professional tank water heater installation take?
For a straightforward replacement in an easily accessible location, most installations are completed in 2–3 hours, including draining the old tank, making water and gas/electric connections, and testing the system. If we are relocating the heater, upgrading venting or electrical service, or bringing the installation up to current Lenoir City and Loudon County code, the job can take 4–6 hours. We give you a detailed timeline before work begins so you can plan your day with confidence.
Are permits or inspections required for water heater replacement in Lenoir City?
Yes. Loudon County Building & Codes Enforcement requires a mechanical or plumbing permit for any water heater replacement, whether gas or electric. Precision Installations Plumbing pulls the permit on your behalf and schedules the final inspection once the work is finished. This protects your warranty, ensures that safety devices such as the temperature-pressure relief valve and seismic strapping are installed correctly, and keeps your home insurance valid.
Which water heater brands do you install and what warranties are offered?
We are factory-trained to install and service leading brands such as Bradford White, Rheem, A. O. Smith, and State. Standard tank models come with a 6-year manufacturer warranty on the tank and parts, while our premium line offers 10- or 12-year coverage. Precision Installations Plumbing backs all labor with a 1-year workmanship warranty; optional extended labor plans up to 5 years are available for added peace of mind.
What maintenance is recommended after installation to maximize the unit’s life?
Annual maintenance is key to avoiding premature tank failure. We recommend flushing the tank once a year to remove sediment, testing the temperature-pressure relief valve, checking the anode rod every 2–3 years, and inspecting gas/electrical connections. Because Lenoir City has moderately hard water, sediment buildup can accelerate—an annual flush can extend tank life by several years and maintain efficiency. We offer affordable water-heater tune-up plans that include all these services.
Do you provide same-day or emergency water heater service?
Absolutely. Our Lenoir City team maintains a stock of the most common 40-, 50-, and 55-gallon gas and electric models so we can replace failed units the same day in most cases. Emergency service is available 24/7 for active leaks, gas odor, or complete loss of hot water. Simply call our hotline, and a licensed plumber will be dispatched with all necessary parts and a new tank to get your hot water restored fast.
