FAQs

How soon can you schedule a tank-type water heater service in Maynardville?

Because we have locally based technicians and dedicated dispatchers for the Maynardville area, most standard service calls—such as diagnostics, minor repairs, or routine maintenance—can be scheduled the same day or within 24 hours. Full replacement installations are usually booked within 48–72 hours, depending on parts availability and required permitting. Emergency no-hot-water situations are prioritized, and we keep on-call crews available nights and weekends.

Do you work on both gas and electric storage water heaters?

Yes. Our licensed plumbers are trained and certified to service, repair, and replace both natural-gas and electric tank water heaters up to 120 gallons. We carry common elements, thermostats, gas control valves, anode rods, and venting materials on our trucks, allowing most repairs to be completed in a single visit.

What are the signs my tank water heater needs professional attention?

Call us if you notice any of the following: water that is lukewarm or runs out quickly, rumbling or popping noises, rusty-colored water, visible leaks around the base, a rotten-egg or metallic odor, or a pilot light that will not stay lit. Addressing these symptoms promptly can often prevent a full tank failure and costly water damage.

Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Maynardville, and do you handle it?

Union County requires a plumbing/mechanical permit for water heater replacements to ensure the unit is installed safely and meets current code standards. Our office prepares and submits the permit application on your behalf at no extra charge; inspection fees are included in your upfront quote. We will also coordinate the final inspection with the county inspector so you don’t have to.

What should I do to prepare for the technician’s arrival?

Please clear a pathway to the water heater (remove stored items, pet crates, etc.) and ensure someone 18 or older is present to authorize work. If there is a shut-off valve above the heater, turn it to the off position if you have an active leak. For gas units, do not attempt to relight the pilot after a leak or flameout—leave that to our licensed plumber.

How much does service typically cost and what payment options are available?

Diagnostic visits start at $79, which is waived when you proceed with the repair. Common repairs (elements, thermostats, gas valves) range from $150–$350 installed. Standard 40- or 50-gallon replacement packages, including the new heater, haul-away, permit, and all materials, start at $1,125. We provide written, no-surprise pricing before any work begins and offer payment by cash, credit/debit card, check, or 0%-interest financing for qualified homeowners.
