FAQs
What tank water heater sizes do you install for homes in Rutledge?
Peak Performance Plumbing carries and installs residential tank water heaters ranging from 30-, 40-, 50-, 66-, and 80-gallon capacities. Our technicians perform an on-site evaluation of your household’s fixture count, hot-water usage patterns, and available space to recommend the right size so you never run out of hot water while avoiding unnecessary energy costs.
How long does a standard tank water heater installation take?
A straightforward replacement—removing the old unit, setting the new heater, reconnecting gas or electric lines, and completing safety tests—typically takes 2–4 hours. If code upgrades, venting modifications, or relocation are required, the job can extend to a full day. We give you an exact timeline before work begins and schedule installations around your Rutledge household’s convenience.
What maintenance should I schedule to keep my water heater running efficiently?
We recommend an annual service visit that includes draining and flushing the tank to remove sediment, testing the T&P safety valve, inspecting anode rod wear, checking thermostat calibration, and verifying proper venting. Routine maintenance performed by our licensed plumbers extends tank life, maintains energy efficiency, and preserves your manufacturer warranty.
How can I tell if my current tank water heater needs to be replaced?
Common signs include rusty or discolored hot water, rumbling or popping noises (indicating heavy sediment buildup), rising energy bills, water pooling around the base, and age over 10 years for gas models or 12 years for electric models. If you notice any of these symptoms in your Rutledge home, call Peak Performance Plumbing for a no-obligation inspection and replacement estimate.
Are energy-efficient or high-recovery tank models available?
Yes. We stock ENERGY STAR®-qualified high-efficiency gas and electric tanks, heat-pump hybrid electric units, and high-recovery gas models that replenish hot water faster. Upgrading to these units can cut water-heating costs by 10–50 %. We’ll explain the upfront investment, potential utility rebates for Jefferson County residents, and projected payback period during your consultation.
Do you offer emergency water heater repair service in Rutledge?
Absolutely. Peak Performance Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency response for leaks, failed heating elements, gas valve issues, or any problem that leaves you without hot water. Call us any time—nights, weekends, or holidays—and a licensed plumber will arrive quickly with stocked parts to restore safe operation or arrange rapid replacement.
