FAQs
How quickly can you install a new tank water heater in Georgetown?
In most cases we can provide same-day or next-day installation. Because we stock the most common gas and electric tank models on our service trucks and have direct supplier relationships in Georgetown, we can usually complete the job within a few hours of arrival, including removal of the old unit, code-compliant connections, and full start-up testing.
What size tank water heater do I need for my home?
The right size depends on household size, peak hot-water demand, and fuel type. A family of 1–2 typically needs a 30–40 gallon unit, 3–4 people need 40–50 gallons, and 5 or more may require 50–80 gallons. We perform a quick usage assessment—factoring in number of bathrooms, simultaneous appliance use, and recovery rate—to recommend the most efficient capacity so you never run out of hot water but don’t pay to heat excess volume.
Do you handle removal and disposal of my old water heater?
Yes. Our installation package includes safe disconnect, drainage, and removal of the existing tank. We transport the unit to an approved recycling facility, so you don’t have to worry about heavy lifting, environmental regulations, or disposal fees.
Are permits required for water heater replacement in Georgetown, and do you obtain them?
The City of Georgetown and Williamson County require a plumbing permit for any water heater replacement that involves altering gas, water, or venting lines. As licensed master plumbers, we pull the permit on your behalf, schedule the inspection if necessary, and ensure every connection meets the latest UPC building and safety codes.
How much does a standard tank water heater installation cost?
Prices vary by capacity, fuel type, and efficiency rating, but most residential replacements fall between $1,200 and $2,200 installed. That figure includes the new heater, all supply lines and vent parts, permit fees, labor, haul-away, and a workmanship warranty. We provide a flat, written quote up front—no surprise charges on the final invoice.
What maintenance does my new tank water heater need to stay efficient?
To maximize lifespan (8–12 years on average) we recommend: flushing sediment from the tank once a year, inspecting the anode rod every 2–3 years and replacing it when 50 % depleted, testing the temperature-pressure relief valve annually, and keeping the thermostat at 120 °F to limit energy use and scald risk. We offer low-cost annual service plans that handle all of these tasks and maintain your manufacturer’s warranty.
