FAQs
Can you really replace my tank water heater the same day I call in Ooltewah?
Yes. Because we stock the most common gas and electric tank water-heater sizes (30-, 40-, 50- and 75-gallon) on our service trucks and at our nearby warehouse, a licensed technician can be dispatched, remove your old unit, and install a new one in a single visit—usually within 4–6 hours of your approval. Calls received before 2 p.m. are almost always finished the same day; later calls are scheduled first thing the next morning.
What does a same-day tank water-heater replacement cost?
Prices in the Ooltewah area start around $1,200 for a standard 40-gallon electric model and range up to $2,700 for high-efficiency or power-vented gas units. The quote we give on-site is all-inclusive—water heater, expansion tank, new gas or water shut-off valves, haul-away of the old unit, labor, and local permit/inspection fees—so you won’t see surprise add-ons at checkout.
Do you handle permits and inspections required by Hamilton County?
Absolutely. Hamilton County requires a mechanical or plumbing permit for any water-heater replacement. We pull the permit electronically, perform the installation to local code, and schedule the county inspection. You receive a copy of the permit number and the passed inspection report for your records.
What warranty comes with my new tank water heater?
Our standard heaters carry a 6-year manufacturer’s tank and parts warranty, plus a 1-year labor warranty from our company. You can upgrade to 9- or 12-year tank warranties and extend labor coverage to match for a modest fee. All warranty registration is completed for you before we leave your driveway.
How do I know it’s time to replace instead of repair my existing tank?
Replacement is usually recommended when: 1) The tank is 8–12 years old; 2) Rust-colored water or visible corrosion is present; 3) The unit is leaking from the bottom (an unrepairable tank rupture); 4) Repeated pilot-light or heating-element failures have occurred; or 5) The repair cost exceeds 50 % of the price of a new heater. Our technician will inspect your unit and walk you through the findings so you can make an informed decision.
Can you install energy-efficient or specialty models?
Yes. Besides standard atmospheric-vent heaters, we stock ENERGY STAR® high-efficiency gas models, power-vent units for homes without chimneys, and low-boy electric heaters for tight crawlspaces. If you are interested in hybrid heat-pump or tankless options, we can schedule a site assessment and perform the installation within 24–48 hours after equipment arrival.
