FAQs
How can I tell whether my existing tank water heater needs repair or a full replacement?
Look for warning signs such as water that looks rusty, rumbling or popping noises while the unit is heating, puddles or corrosion around the tank, or a sudden spike in utility bills. If the water heater is more than 8–12 years old in Luttrell’s hard-water environment, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs. Our technicians can perform a quick diagnostic visit, test the heating elements, inspect the anode rod, and advise you on the most economical solution.
What size tank water heater should I install for my Luttrell home?
Sizing depends on the number of people, simultaneous hot-water tasks (showers, laundry, dishwasher), and the unit’s First Hour Rating (FHR). As a rule of thumb, a household of 1–2 people often needs a 30- to 40-gallon tank, 3–4 people need 40- to 50-gallons, and larger families may require 50- to 80-gallons or a dual-tank set-up. We calculate your peak-hour demand and local groundwater temperature to recommend the most efficient model so you never run out of hot water.
Are high-efficiency or ENERGY STAR® tank water heaters available and do they qualify for rebates?
Yes. Both high-efficiency gas storage and heat-pump electric water heaters carry ENERGY STAR certification and use 10–60 % less energy than standard models. Tennessee homeowners may qualify for federal tax credits (up to $600 on certain units) and local utility rebates. We supply current rebate forms, handle the registration paperwork, and ensure your new heater meets all efficiency requirements.
What routine maintenance will my tank water heater require, and can you provide it?
Every tank unit should be flushed at least once a year to remove sediment that lowers efficiency and shortens tank life—especially in the mineral-rich water around Luttrell. The anode rod should be inspected annually and replaced every 3–5 years. We also test the temperature-pressure relief valve, check thermostat settings, and look for gas or electrical issues. Our affordable maintenance plans bundle these services and extend most manufacturer warranties.
How long does a typical tank water heater installation take, and how long will my water be off?
A straightforward replacement job in an easily accessible location usually takes 2–4 hours from arrival to clean-up. Your household water is only shut off for about 60–90 minutes while we disconnect the old unit and tie in the new one. If we need to upgrade venting, relocate the tank, or bring plumbing up to code, we’ll give you an exact timeline before work begins so you can plan accordingly.
What warranties and workmanship guarantees do you offer on tank water heater services?
Most of the gas and electric storage heaters we install carry a 6- to 12-year manufacturer tank and parts warranty. In addition, we provide a written 1-year labor warranty covering our installation work and offer extended protection plans for added peace of mind. If any workmanship-related issue arises within the first year, we return to fix it at no cost—and that includes travel anywhere in the Luttrell area.
