FAQs
What size tank water heater do I need for my Ducktown home?
For most Ducktown households, a 40- to 50-gallon gas or electric tank is adequate for a family of 3–4, while larger families or homes with high hot-water demand may need 60–80 gallons. We evaluate your household size, number of bathrooms, simultaneous appliance use, and peak-hour demand to recommend the correct capacity so you never run out of hot water while avoiding unnecessarily high energy bills.
How long does a tank water heater typically last in Ducktown?
With Ducktown’s moderate climate and our town’s slightly mineral-rich water, a professionally installed and properly maintained tank water heater lasts 8–12 years on average. Annual flushing, anode-rod inspections every 2–3 years, and timely repairs can extend lifespan toward the upper end of that range.
What maintenance does my tank water heater require?
Key maintenance tasks include draining and flushing the tank yearly to remove sediment, testing the temperature-pressure relief (TPR) valve, inspecting and replacing the anode rod when it’s more than 50 % depleted, checking gas/electric connections, and verifying thermostat settings (120 °F is recommended). Our service plans cover all of these steps and document each visit for warranty compliance.
Can you convert my electric tank water heater to gas (or vice versa)?
Yes. We handle full conversions, including new venting, gas piping, or upgraded electrical circuits to meet Ducktown codes. We evaluate energy costs, space constraints, and any rebate opportunities before recommending whether switching fuels will save you money long-term.
How fast can you replace my failed tank water heater?
If you call before noon, we can usually provide same-day replacement anywhere in Ducktown. We stock common gas and electric models on our service trucks and pull permits electronically, allowing us to remove the old unit, install the new one, and haul away debris in a single visit.
