Water Heater Replacement reviews from Ansonville
Whole house repipe. Four days, minimal mess, and they patched every opening they cut. Water pressure is better than it has been since we bought the place.
Nadia F.Ansonville, NCGarbage disposal was humming and I assumed it was dead. Turned out to be a jam plus a partly blocked trap arm. Cleared both, no new unit needed. Appreciated the honesty.
Kevin T.Ansonville, NCWater heater died the day before we had family arriving. They got a new one in the same afternoon, took the old one away, and fixed the venting that had apparently never been right. Would use again without thinking about it.
Greg W.Ansonville, NCWater Heater Replacement in Ansonville: common questions
How long does a water heater replacement take in Ansonville?
A straight tank-for-tank swap in a Ansonville home is usually three to five hours. Moving a location, converting fuel type or correcting old venting adds time and we tell you that up front.
What size water heater do I need?
One or two people usually do fine on 40 gallons, a family of four is better on 50, and larger households or big soaking tubs want 65 to 75 gallons or a tankless unit.
Do I need a permit in Ansonville?
Most North Carolina jurisdictions require one for a water heater change-out. We handle the paperwork and the inspection as part of the job.
How long will a new heater last?
Ten to thirteen years is typical for a tank in this part of North Carolina, longer if the anode rod is checked every few years and the tank is flushed annually.
Can you install a heater I bought myself?
We can, though we will inspect it first and the manufacturer warranty terms may differ. Most Ansonville customers end up better off with a supplied unit because the warranty is handled in one place.
