FAQs

What does “same-day tank water-heater replacement” mean for New Tazewell homeowners?

It means that if you call us before our daily cut-off time (usually 12:00 p.m.), we can remove your failed storage-tank water heater, deliver a new, code-compliant unit, install it, fill and test it, haul away the old tank, and restore hot-water service the very same day—no waiting overnight. This promise applies to all standard gas or electric tank models up to 80 gallons that are stocked in our local warehouse.

How quickly can a technician get to my house after I request service?

For addresses inside New Tazewell city limits, a licensed plumber is typically dispatched within 60–90 minutes of your confirmed booking. Rural Claiborne County locations may take up to 2 hours, but you will receive a real-time text or call with the technician’s GPS ETA. Emergency after-hours replacements are also available 24/7 for an additional fee.

What brands and sizes of tank water heaters do you keep in stock for same-day installs?

We stock Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, and State brand units in the most requested capacities: 30-, 40-, 50-, 65-, and 80-gallon electric models, plus 40- and 50-gallon natural-gas and propane models. All come with factory warranties ranging from 6 to 12 years and meet or exceed the latest DOE efficiency standards. Specialty low-boy, mobile-home, and power-vent units usually require 24-hour ordering, but we will advise you at the time of your call.

Do I need a permit or inspection for a water-heater replacement in New Tazewell?

Yes. The City of New Tazewell and Claiborne County require a plumbing permit and a final inspection when a water heater is replaced. Our office handles the permit paperwork, pays the fee, schedules the inspector, and provides you with the signed inspection sticker once the job passes—no extra trip or hassle for you.

What is included in the quoted replacement price, and are there any hidden fees?

Your written quote covers the new water heater, delivery, labor to disconnect and dispose of the old unit, new dielectric nipples, supply-line flex connectors, gas or electrical re-connection, temperature-pressure relief valve, thermal expansion tank if required, permit fee, and tax. Extra charges apply only if unexpected code upgrades are needed, such as a pan and drain line in an attic installation, or if your shut-off valve or venting must be replaced. All additional costs are explained up front before work begins.

How can I prepare my home for a smooth same-day installation?

Clear a 3-foot path to the water-heater location, move delicate items off nearby shelves, and make sure someone 18 years or older is present to approve the work. If possible, shut off power at the breaker or turn the gas valve to “pilot” before we arrive to speed up the process. Have pets secured, and reserve one parking spot close to the entry for our service truck. Following these steps helps us finish most replacements in about 2–3 hours.
