FAQs

What types of tank water heaters are available in Pikeville?

Tank water heaters come in a variety of sizes and models that can suit different household needs. In Pikeville, you can find traditional tank-based water heaters that range from standard to high-efficiency models. Our plumbing service can help you choose the ideal heater based on your home's water usage, energy efficiency requirements, and space availability.

When should I consider repairing versus replacing my tank water heater?

It is best to evaluate your water heater's age, performance, and condition. If you notice frequent issues such as leaking, inconsistent water temperature, or unusual noises, repairs may be necessary. However, if your unit is over 8-12 years old and showing signs of repeated problems, replacing it might be more cost-effective in the long run. Our experts in Pikeville can assess your situation and provide a recommendation tailored to your needs.

What is the typical lifespan of a tank water heater?

Generally, a well-maintained tank water heater can last between 8 to 12 years. Factors such as water quality, usage patterns, and regular maintenance can affect this lifespan. In areas like Pikeville, where water conditions might vary, regular inspection and maintenance are crucial to maximizing the efficiency and longevity of your water heater.

How often should I schedule maintenance for my tank water heater?

Annual maintenance is recommended to ensure your water heater operates safely and efficiently. Routine inspections can help identify sediment build-up, corrosion, or potential leaks early on. In Pikeville, our plumbing professionals suggest having your heater checked yearly, or more frequently if you encounter unusual performance issues, to avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Do you offer emergency repair services for tank water heaters in Pikeville?

Yes, we provide emergency repair services for tank water heater issues in Pikeville. Sudden leaks, no hot water, or other critical failures can occur unexpectedly, and our team is available to address these emergencies promptly.

How can I improve the efficiency of my tank water heater?

Improving the efficiency of your tank water heater involves regular maintenance, proper temperature settings, and insulation of both the tank and surrounding pipes. Keeping the heater at an optimal temperature (usually around 120°F) can prevent energy waste. Additionally, periodic flushing to remove sediment build-up and insulating the water heater can help maintain heat and reduce energy costs. Our experienced plumbers in Pikeville can provide tailored advice and service to ensure your unit operates at peak performance.

What our customers say

Todd was very nice and gave me a quote. Told me in detail what was wrong with my hot water heater.

Tiffany A.

I took advantage of HEP's free offer to drain my hot water heater and do a plumbing inspection. Even though the drain valve on the heater was broken, Marco managed to find a way to complete the job. He offered suggestions for improvements and gave me estimates but did not pressure me to agree to any work. He was polite, professional and helpful.

My water heater started leaking on Thursday afternoon. It had been installed originally by Sears but there were some problems, so HEP fixed them years ago. This time, I went online to Home Depot to schedule an install. I didn't get a call back on Thursday so I called for an update. I was told I'd get a call in 1-2 business days. Rather than going without hot water for the weekend I called HEP. They got someone out within two hours for an evaluation and a quote. I agreed and they had a tech out two hours after that. It's 5pm on Friday and I never heard back from the Home Depot folks - meanwhile HEP came out and got it all done. And if there is a problem, I know they'll come out on the weekend. Next time I'm calling them first.

Matt came today to flush out my water heater. He explained the process and why it was necessary. He was efficient, polite, and helpful. He was also great with my pets!

Sarah B.

My hot water heater broke. They came the same day I called. Helped me with the different options I had. Came back the next morning and install the new heater. In less than 24 hours my leak was fixed, new heater installed and hot water was mine once again! They did a great job. Were professional and friendly. Will use them again and I highly recommend them. Thanks for the great job!

Tammy L.

The techs were very knowledgable about my hot water heater which was 25 years old. We ended up replacing the old water heater. From the day we diagnosed the issue, HEP made the replacement within 24 hours. My installation was conducted in a very professional manner and was complete within 3 hours of arrival time. That included the time it took for the hot water to be available to me. Thank you HEP, you made a senior citizen very happy an grateful gir your service. The entire staff I dealt with were extremely helpful and understanding of my needs.

I have to give HEP a 5 star rating on replacing all the galvanized plumbing in our 1941 house. Tim and Sam were very professional, tidy, and polite. They did their upmost to keep my home clean while they performed this service. They wore booties every time they came into the house. They cleaned up their mess when they were finished, and even took out an old water heater we had in the basement for us. I will definitely be using HEP for any of our future home needs. Thank you again!!!
