FAQs
What size tank water heater do I need for my home in Tullahoma?
The right size depends on the number of people in your household, your peak-hour water demand, and how many high-flow fixtures (showers, washing machines, etc.) you run at the same time. As a general rule, a 30–40 gallon tank works for 1–2 people, 40–50 gallons for 3–4 people, and 50–80 gallons for larger families. Quality Components Plumbing conducts an on-site assessment, calculates your specific first-hour rating (FHR) needs, and recommends a model that will supply enough hot water without wasting energy or space.
How long does a traditional tank water heater typically last?
Most standard tank water heaters last 8–12 years in Middle Tennessee’s water conditions. Longevity depends on water quality, proper installation, routine maintenance, and the quality of the tank’s glass lining and anode rod. Quality Components Plumbing installs premium brands with durable linings and offers annual flush and inspection services that often extend unit life to the upper end of that range or beyond.
Are high-efficiency tank water heaters worth the extra cost?
High-efficiency units (including condensing gas models and heat-pump electric units) can cut energy use by 10–60 percent compared to standard models. Although they cost more up front, the energy savings usually pay for the difference in 2–5 years, especially with Tullahoma Utilities Board energy rates and available manufacturer rebates. Our technicians provide a cost-of-ownership comparison so you can see the long-term savings before you decide.
What maintenance is required to keep my tank water heater running efficiently?
Key maintenance steps include: (1) draining and flushing the tank once a year to remove sediment that reduces efficiency and shortens tank life; (2) inspecting and replacing the sacrificial anode rod every 2–4 years to prevent internal corrosion; (3) checking the temperature-pressure relief valve for proper operation; and (4) verifying thermostat settings and burner/element performance. Quality Components Plumbing offers affordable maintenance plans that cover all of these tasks and document the results for warranty purposes.
How quickly can Quality Components Plumbing replace my existing tank water heater?
For most residential replacements in the Tullahoma area, we provide same-day or next-day service. Once you approve the estimate, our team secures the permit (if required), removes the old unit, installs the new heater, and hauls away debris—usually within 3–4 hours on site. Emergency after-hours replacement is also available for a modest surcharge.
Do you offer warranties or financing options for tank water heater installations?
Yes. All new tank water heaters come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 6 to 12 years on the tank and parts. Quality Components Plumbing adds a one-year labor warranty on our workmanship. For larger projects or high-efficiency models, we partner with financing providers that offer 0 % interest for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 60 months, subject to credit approval, so you can spread the cost over manageable monthly payments.
