FAQs

What tank water heater sizes does Steady Stream Plumbing offer for homes in Lookout Mountain?

We install a full range of standard tank sizes—from compact 30-gallon models for cabins and small households to 80-gallon units that comfortably serve larger families. During your on-site consultation, we measure your hot-water demand, fixture count, and recovery-time needs to recommend the right capacity so you never run out of hot water.

How long does a typical tank water heater installation take?

Most residential replacements are completed in 3–5 hours. This includes draining and removing your old unit, updating supply lines and shut-off valves, installing the new heater, filling and purging air from the tank, and testing every connection for leaks and proper temperature. Complex jobs—such as relocating the heater or upgrading gas venting—may take an additional half-day.

What maintenance should I schedule to maximize the life of my new water heater?

We advise annual maintenance. A technician will flush sediment, test the anode rod, verify thermostat calibration, inspect the T&P safety valve, and check for corrosion or gas-line leaks. Regular service can extend a tank’s lifespan to 10–12 years and keep your energy bills lower by preventing mineral buildup that forces the burner or elements to work harder.

Are high-efficiency or heat-pump water heaters available?

Yes. Steady Stream Plumbing installs ENERGY STAR–rated high-efficiency gas tanks (with 0.70–0.75 UEF ratings) and hybrid electric heat-pump models that can cut energy use by up to 60 %. We’ll compare upfront costs, utility rebates, and annual savings so you can choose the system that offers the best long-term value for your Lookout Mountain home.

What warranties come with a new tank water heater installation?

Most of our preferred brands carry a 6-year manufacturer’s tank and parts warranty. For a modest upgrade fee, you can extend that coverage to 9 or 12 years. Steady Stream Plumbing also provides a 1-year labor warranty, guaranteeing free workmanship corrections if any installation-related problems arise.

How much will a replacement tank water heater cost in Lookout Mountain?

Pricing generally ranges from $1,100 to $2,800 installed, depending on fuel type (gas or electric), tank capacity, venting requirements, and efficiency rating. Your written estimate will itemize equipment, parts, and labor so you can see exactly where every dollar goes—and we never start work until you approve the quote.
