FAQs
Can you really replace my tank water heater the same day I call in Petros?
Yes. If you contact us before 11:00 a.m., we can deliver, remove the old unit, and install a new tank water heater before the end of the business day anywhere in the Petros area, provided the model you need is in stock and your home’s plumbing and venting meet current code. We arrive with the most common 40-, 50-, and 75-gallon gas and electric models on our trucks, minimizing wait times.
What brands and sizes of tank water heaters do you keep on the truck for same-day replacement?
To maximize the chances of a true same-day swap, we stock Rheem, Bradford White, and A.O. Smith gas and electric tank units in 40-, 50-, and 75-gallon capacities, including both atmospheric-vent and power-vent models. If you need a specialty size or high-efficiency model we don’t carry on the truck, we can usually pick it up at the local distributor and still finish the installation the same day, schedule permitting.
How much does a same-day tank water heater replacement cost in Petros?
Pricing depends on tank size, fuel type, efficiency rating, and any code upgrades that may be required (expansion tank, drain pan, seismic strapping, etc.). In Petros, typical same-day replacements range from $1,200–$1,800 for standard 40- or 50-gallon gas units and $1,000–$1,500 for equivalent electric units, including haul-away of the old heater, basic plumbing connections, and permits. We provide a firm, written quote on-site before starting work, so there are no surprises.
Will I be without hot water for long during the replacement?
Your existing heater continues working until we arrive. Once we shut it down, the change-out itself usually takes 2–3 hours, including draining the old tank, making water, gas/electric, and vent connections, filling and purging the new unit, and testing for leaks. You’ll typically be back to hot showers within 30–45 minutes after we finish because the new heater starts heating immediately once powered up.
Do you handle permits, inspections, and warranty registration?
Absolutely. Petros and Morgan County require a plumbing permit and, for gas units, a mechanical inspection. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector if needed. After installation we register your new tank water heater with the manufacturer so your full warranty (usually 6- or 10-year tank/parts) is in force. You receive digital and paper copies of all documentation.
What if my existing water heater failed overnight or is leaking badly?
Call our 24-hour emergency line. We can walk you through shutting off the water and gas/electric supply to stop damage, then dispatch an on-call technician first thing in the morning. If you have active flooding, we’ll send a plumber immediately. Because we carry replacement tanks on the truck, we can usually remove the leaking unit and install a new one on our first visit, preventing further water damage and restoring hot water the same day.
