FAQs
How fast can you repair or replace my tank water heater in Morristown?
Because our crews and inventory are based right here in Morristown, we can usually arrive within 60–90 minutes of your call. Most standard repairs—thermostats, heating elements, gas valves, relief valves, minor leaks—are completed the same visit, typically in two hours or less. If the tank has ruptured or the unit is past its life expectancy, we carry the most common 40-, 50-, and 75-gallon gas and electric models on our trucks or in our nearby warehouse, allowing us to perform a full replacement the very same day, including removal of the old heater and local code inspection coordination.
What brands and sizes of tank water heaters do you service or install?
Our licensed plumbers service and install every major residential tank water-heater brand sold in New Jersey, including A.O. Smith, Rheem, Bradford White, State, Navien, Kenmore, Whirlpool, and American. We carry parts for models ranging from compact 20-gallon utility heaters to 120-gallon light-commercial units. If you need a new installation, we keep the most requested 40-, 50-, and 75-gallon gas and electric tanks in stock so we can match your home’s demand and fuel type without delay.
Do I have to be home during the same-day water heater service?
We recommend that an adult homeowner be present at the beginning of the appointment to discuss any performance issues, approve the scope of work, and provide access to the utility areas. If you cannot stay for the duration, we can text or email photos of progress and obtain electronic signatures for any change orders. For replacements, local codes require us to relight the pilot, test the T&P valve, and verify combustion venting in the customer’s presence before we leave.
How much does same-day tank water heater repair or replacement cost?
Simple repairs such as element replacement or thermostat swaps usually fall between $175 and $350, including parts, labor, and our expedited dispatch fee. A standard same-day 40- or 50-gallon replacement (gas or electric) generally ranges from $1,400 to $2,100, covering the new heater, expansion tank, new shut-off valve, haul-away of the old unit, permit filing, and a one-year labor warranty. Prices can increase for power-vented models, larger capacities, or if substantial code upgrades (e.g., flue resizing, earthquake strapping) are required. We always provide a firm, written quote before work begins.
Can you convert my old electric tank heater to a high-efficiency gas unit in one day?
Yes, provided natural gas service is already stubbed inside your home or available at the meter. We can disconnect the electric heater, extend gas piping to the water-heater location, install a high-efficiency atmospheric or power-vented tank, run a new 110-volt outlet if needed for the blower, and secure the municipal permit all in a single visit. Conversions that require a new gas meter set-up or extensive venting through masonry walls may take an extra day; we’ll advise you up front when we evaluate the site.
What signs mean I should call for emergency same-day service instead of waiting?
Shut off the heater and call us immediately if you notice (1) active leaking from the tank seam or base, (2) no hot water combined with water pooling around the unit, (3) sizzling or popping sounds followed by the smell of burning plastic or metal, (4) water that is discolored, rust-red, or smells like rotten eggs, or (5) the T&P valve discharging hot water continuously. These symptoms indicate a risk of tank rupture, scalding, or carbon monoxide exposure, all of which justify an emergency dispatch.
