FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for my tank water-heater service in Pelham?
Up-front pricing means we give you a firm, written price for the entire job—labor, parts, basic materials, permit, disposal, and tax—before any work begins. You will never see surprise add-ons or hourly charges after the fact. If unforeseen code issues are discovered during our initial inspection, we explain them and quote them in writing before proceeding, so you stay in control of the cost.
How much does a typical tank water-heater replacement cost?
For most homes in Pelham, a standard 40- or 50-gallon gas or electric tank replacement runs $1,600–$2,400, which includes removal of the old unit, new water-heater installation, expansion tank, gas or electrical reconnection, temperature-pressure relief valve, and permit fees. Prices can vary for larger capacities, relocation, or extensive code upgrades, but you receive the exact figure in writing before we begin.
Can you provide same-day water-heater installation or emergency service?
Yes. If you call before 1:00 p.m., we can usually install a new tank water heater the same day, provided the correct size and fuel type is in stock. Emergency shut-off, leak containment, and temporary hot-water restoration are available 24/7. After-hours service includes a modest on-call surcharge that is quoted up front as well.
What brands and sizes of tank water heaters do you stock?
We keep the most popular Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, and State units on hand in 30-, 40-, 50-, and 75-gallon sizes for both natural-gas and electric models. High-recovery and low-boy (short) models are also available for tight spaces. Specialty sizes or power-vent units can be ordered with one- to two-day lead times.
Are permits required in Pelham for water-heater replacement, and who handles them?
Yes. The City of Pelham requires a mechanical/plumbing permit for any water-heater replacement involving gas, electricity, or modification of venting and pressure valves. Our team pulls the permit on your behalf, schedules the inspection, and the associated fee is already included in your up-front price so there is no separate charge later.
How do I know whether my existing tank water heater should be repaired or replaced?
Replacement is usually recommended if the tank is more than 10 – 12 years old, leaks from the bottom, produces rusty or sandy water, or fails to maintain temperature even after thermostat or element replacement. If the unit is younger and only showing issues like a faulty gas valve, heating element, or T&P valve, a cost-effective repair may be possible. We perform a full diagnostic and present both repair and replacement prices so you can make an informed decision.
