FAQs
What size tank water heater is best for my Grandview home?
The right size depends on the number of people and simultaneous hot-water activities in your household. As a rule of thumb, a 30–40 gallon unit works for 1–2 occupants, 40–50 gallons for 3–4 occupants, and 50–75 gallons for larger families. During our free in-home assessment we calculate your peak-hour demand, review fixture counts, and consider space, gas or electric service, and future household growth to recommend the most efficient size.
How long does a complete tank water heater installation usually take?
Most standard replacements in Grandview take 2–4 hours from shut-off to final test. The timeline includes draining and removing your old unit, updating the gas or electric connections, installing a thermal expansion tank if required, setting the new heater in place, filling and bleeding the system, and performing a code inspection. If we need to relocate the heater, upgrade venting, or correct existing plumbing issues, the job can extend to a full day, but we will give you a clear schedule before work begins.
Do I need a permit or inspection for a water heater replacement in Grandview?
Yes. The City of Grandview requires a plumbing/mechanical permit and a final inspection for any water heater replacement or new installation. As part of our complete installation service we pull the permit on your behalf, schedule the inspection, and ensure the heater, venting, seismic strapping, drain pan, and pressure relief discharge meet current local and state codes. We are present during the inspection to address any questions so you don’t have to worry about paperwork or compliance issues.
What is included in your "complete installation" package?
Our package covers: (1) removal and eco-friendly disposal of the old tank; (2) delivery of the new ENERGY STAR® rated heater; (3) new gas flex line or electrical whip, dielectric unions, water shut-off, and expansion tank; (4) venting upgrade or power-vent setup as required; (5) drip pan and T&P discharge routed to an approved drain; (6) permit acquisition and city inspection; (7) startup, thermostat calibration, and safety check; and (8) a walk-through of maintenance tips and warranty registration. There are no surprise disposal, haul-away, or trip fees.
How much does a tank water heater installation cost and are rebates available?
In Grandview, a standard 40–50 gallon gas or electric tank heater installed typically ranges from $1,450 to $2,300, depending on capacity, fuel type, venting, and location. High-efficiency or power-vent models cost more but can reduce utility bills by 10–15 percent. Energy-efficient models may qualify for Puget Sound Energy or federal tax credits (up to $150) and occasional manufacturer rebates. We provide a firm, written quote and help you complete any rebate paperwork at no additional charge.
How often should I maintain my new tank water heater and what warranty do you provide?
We recommend a yearly maintenance visit: flushing sediment, checking the anode rod, inspecting the T&P valve, and testing thermostat and gas pressure. Regular maintenance extends life expectancy to 10–15 years and keeps your warranty valid. The tanks we install carry a 6- or 10-year manufacturer’s tank and parts warranty, and we back our workmanship with a 1-year labor guarantee. Extended labor warranties up to 5 years are available for purchase at installation.
