FAQs
What are the most common signs that my tank water heater in Dunlap needs repair or replacement?
Watch for rusty or discolored hot water, rumbling or popping noises coming from the tank, water pooling around the base, rising energy bills, or inconsistent hot-water temperature. If your heater is more than 10–12 years old, those symptoms usually indicate it’s time to call our Dunlap plumbing team to inspect the unit and discuss repair versus replacement options.
How often should I have my conventional tank water heater serviced?
Our experts recommend a professional tune-up once a year. During this visit we drain and flush sediment, check the anode rod, inspect the thermostat and heating elements, verify safety valves, and look for leaks or corrosion. Annual maintenance maximizes efficiency, prolongs the life of the tank, and preserves your manufacturer’s warranty.
What size tank water heater is right for my home?
Sizing depends on household demand. A 30–40 gallon unit suits 1–2 people, 40–50 gallons covers 3–4 people, and 50–80 gallons fits larger families or homes with luxury fixtures. Our Dunlap plumbers will calculate your peak-hour demand and recommend the most cost-effective capacity so you never run out of hot water.
How long does installation of a new tank water heater usually take?
A straightforward replacement—removing the old unit, setting the new tank, updating plumbing connections, and testing—typically takes 2–4 hours. If we have to relocate the heater, add venting, or upgrade gas or electrical lines, installation may extend to a full day. We pull all required Dunlap permits and haul away the old tank at no extra charge.
Are energy-efficient tank water heaters available, and how much can I save?
Yes. High-efficiency gas and electric models with foamed-in insulation, electronic ignition, and ENERGY STAR® ratings cut standby heat loss by up to 15 %. For the average Dunlap household, that means saving $25–$45 per year on utility bills compared with a standard model. We’ll present efficiency ratings, rebate options, and payback calculations so you can make an informed choice.
Do you offer emergency tank water heater service in Dunlap?
Absolutely. Our licensed plumbers are on call 24/7 for no-hot-water situations, major leaks, and pressure-relief valve failures. We can usually be at any Dunlap address within an hour, fully stocked to repair or replace most brands the same day. Call our emergency line any time, day or night.
