FAQs
What does “transparent pricing” mean for your tank water-heater services in McMinnville?
It means you see every cost—equipment, labor, permits, parts, and tax—upfront on a written quote before any work starts. We use flat-rate pricing, so the total you approve is the total you pay, even if the job takes longer than expected. No surprise line items and no high-pressure upsells once we’re on site.
How much does a standard tank water-heater installation typically cost?
For most homes in McMinnville, a 40- to 50-gallon electric or natural-gas tank water heater, installed to current code, runs between $1,300 and $2,100. The price range covers the heater itself, new supply lines, expansion tank, code upgrades, labor, haul-away of the old unit, permit, and sales tax. Larger 75- to 80-gallon models or units installed in hard-to-reach spaces can cost more; smaller 30-gallon units can cost less. We give a precise, written quote after a quick on-site inspection.
Are there any hidden fees I should worry about when replacing my water heater?
No. Our quotes already include the city permit fee, removal and environmentally responsible disposal of the old heater, any venting or plumbing code upgrades required, and post-installation inspection. The only items not included would be clearly listed optional add-ons you request, such as a dedicated drain pan alarm or upgraded mixing valve—never surprise charges after the job begins.
Do you offer free, no-obligation estimates for water-heater work?
Yes. A licensed plumber will come to your home, assess the existing unit, measure clearances, check electrical or gas connections, and discuss capacity needs. You’ll receive a detailed quote on the spot or by email the same day. If you decide not to move forward, there is no trip charge or consultation fee within McMinnville city limits.
What brands and sizes of tank water heaters do you carry?
We stock Rheem, A. O. Smith, and Bradford White in electric, natural-gas, and propane models ranging from 30 to 80 gallons. Each brand offers standard, high-efficiency, and power-vent options. If you have a preferred brand that we don’t normally stock, we can usually source it within one business day at the same transparent cost we pay, with no additional markup.
How quickly can you replace or install a tank water heater in McMinnville?
For in-stock heaters, we offer same-day or next-day installation Monday through Saturday, including emergency after-hours service for active leaks. The actual replacement typically takes 2–3 hours once we arrive. If a special-order unit is needed, installation is scheduled for the day the unit arrives. All workmanship is backed by a 1-year labor warranty, and most heaters carry a manufacturer warranty of 6–12 years.
