FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for your tank water-heater services?
Up-front pricing means we tell you the total investment for the job before any work begins—no hourly charges, hidden fees, or surprise add-ons once the heater is installed or repaired. After a free on-site inspection in Strawberry Plains, our technician provides a written, itemized quote that includes parts, labor, haul-away of the old unit, and any required permits. If you approve the price, that number is locked in. If you decide not to proceed, you owe nothing for the estimate.
How much does a typical tank water-heater installation cost in Strawberry Plains?
Pricing depends on capacity (30–80 gallons), fuel type (electric, natural gas, propane), venting style, and whether code upgrades such as expansion tanks are needed. On average, a standard 50-gallon electric replacement runs $1,200–$1,600 installed, while a comparable gas unit ranges from $1,400–$1,900. These figures include the new heater, supply lines, drip pan, removal of the old tank, and a 6-year manufacturer warranty. We provide an exact price on site so you know where your project falls in that range before we pick up a single tool.
Do you service and install all brands and sizes of tank water heaters?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers are factory-trained to work on every major brand sold in East Tennessee—Rheem, Bradford White, AO Smith, State, Whirlpool, and more. We can repair or replace residential tanks from 30 to 120 gallons, as well as light-duty commercial models up to 100,000 BTU. If a part is no longer manufactured, we can source compatible aftermarket components or recommend a properly sized replacement heater that meets current energy-efficiency standards.
How fast can you repair or replace a failed water heater in Strawberry Plains?
Calls received before 2:00 p.m. typically qualify for same-day service, subject to parts availability. Our trucks carry the most common heating elements, thermostats, gas valves, and pressure-relief valves so many repairs are completed in a single visit. If you need a full replacement, we stock 40- and 50-gallon units locally and can install them the same day in most cases. Weekend and after-hours emergency service is also available for an additional up-front fee that we quote before dispatching a technician.
Are rebates or energy incentives available when I upgrade my tank water heater?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and some local utilities offer $30–$75 bill credits for replacing an electric tank with a high-efficiency model that meets their EnergyRight standards. Gas utilities occasionally provide $50–$100 rebates for ENERGY STAR®-qualified gas tanks. Federal tax credits up to $600 are available for heaters with a Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) of 0.81 or higher through 2032. We handle all paperwork and will deduct any confirmed rebates from your up-front price so you see the savings immediately.
What kind of warranty and post-installation support do you provide?
Every new tank we install includes the manufacturer’s 6- to 12-year tank and parts warranty. In addition, we back our workmanship with a 1-year labor warranty—if a connection we installed leaks or a vent we fitted comes loose, we repair it at no charge. Extended labor warranties up to 5 years are available for a modest fee. We also schedule a complimentary 12-month checkup to flush sediment, test the anode rod, and verify pressure settings, helping you maximize the heater’s life and efficiency.
