FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” for a tank water heater replacement mean and how is it calculated?
Up-front pricing means you know the full, to-the-penny cost of your new tank water heater before any work begins. After a brief on-site evaluation, our licensed plumber in McDonald will give you a written quote that lists the heater model, labor, standard installation materials, disposal of the old unit, sales tax, and permit fees (if required). The figure will not change unless you ask for additional work, so you never face surprise add-ons once the job is finished.
How soon can you replace or install a tank water heater in the McDonald area?
For most customers we provide same-day or next-day service. Calls received before noon usually allow us to complete the installation that very day, provided the selected heater is in stock. Emergency replacements are available 24/7 for an additional fee, and our service radius covers all of McDonald, Cecil Township, Robinson, and surrounding communities.
Which brands and sizes of tank water heaters do you carry?
We stock Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, and State units in 30-, 40-, 50-, and 75-gallon capacities, in both natural gas and electric models. High-efficiency and power-vent options are also available. If you have limited space or unique venting requirements, we can special-order short, slim, or direct-vent models—typically in two business days.
Are permits, code upgrades, and haul-away included in the quoted price?
Yes. Local plumbing codes in Washington and Allegheny counties often require a permit and inspection when a water heater is replaced. We secure the permit, schedule the inspection, bring the installation up to current code (including expansion tank, drip pan, or seismic strapping if needed), and recycle your old heater. All of these items are built into the up-front price you receive.
What kind of warranty do I get on the water heater and your workmanship?
Most of our standard tank heaters come with a 6-year manufacturer’s parts and tank warranty, upgradeable to 9 or 12 years. We back our labor with a 1-year workmanship guarantee, which covers leaks, venting issues, or code violations related to our installation. Extended labor coverage is available through our Protection Plus plan.
Do you offer financing or maintenance plans to help with the cost of a new tank water heater?
Absolutely. We partner with GreenSky and Synchrony to provide zero-interest promotional financing for up to 18 months or low-interest terms up to 72 months (subject to credit approval). Our ProCare maintenance membership also gives you an annual heater flush, priority scheduling, and a 10 % discount on future plumbing repairs, helping the new unit last longer and fit comfortably into your budget.
