Water Heater Replacement

Tired of running out of hot water? Is your water heater constantly running into problems? A water heater replacement is the solution, and our team is ready to walk you through the process. Most water heaters last around 6-12 years, but it's not uncommon to upgrade to a newer model if you have an undersized tank for your hot water needs. If you think it might be time to replace your current water heater, let us know! Our experienced plumbers can take a look and give you our honest opinion. If a new water heater makes sense, we'll walk you through options that make the most sense for you and your home.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

Did you know that a professionally installed and professionally sized tankless water heater installation means virtually never running out of hot water again? It's true! Instead of using a tank and continually heating and re-heating water, a tankless water heater heats the water as it passes through the unit only as needed. That means much less wasted water, not running out of hot water, and much higher energy efficiency. Plus, tankless water heaters are much smaller in size! If you're interested in upgrading to a tankless water heater, simply reach out to our expert plumbers today.

FAQs

What Are Some Common Water Heater Issues?

Water heaters are built to withstand daily usage. Unfortunately, due to the stress of repeated use, nearly all appliances will require repairs at some point. Regular maintenance and inspection can help prolong the life of your water heater. One common issue we see is sediment build up. Over time the minerals in your water supply can settle at the bottom of your tank and reduce its efficiency. While this issue can be fixed by flushing the sediment out of the tank, other common problems require repairs or replacements. Damage to values or the tank itself is not uncommon. You may also be experiencing loose connections, which are impacting your water heater’s function. Whatever issue you’re experiencing, our licensed plumbers have seen it all—and are happy to help get your hot water working again.

What Are Signs Your Water Heater is Going Bad?

The lifespan of your water heater will depend on the type you have and how well it’s been maintained. Gas and electric water heaters usually last 8-10 years. While tankless style water heaters can last 20 years or more. Whatever type of water heater you have, you should have it inspected annually to extend its lifespan as long as possible. However, all appliances eventually need to be replaced. Increasing water bills without any additional usage can be a telltale signal something is wrong. You may notice you don’t have the same available amount of hot water. Inconsistent or low water pressure can also be signs that your water heater is struggling to keep up. If you hear strange noises or see visible leaks around your unit, be sure to call a professional right away.

Is Water Heater Repair Worth It?

As a water heater ages, its efficiency may be impacted. While most traditional water heaters can last a decade or more, frequent repairs can add up. Ultimately, if the cost of repairing your water heater is more than 50% of the cost to replace it, we generally recommend replacement over repairing. Replacing your water heater can mean improved energy efficiency, higher hot water capacity, reduction in repair bills, and more reliability. Our team of licensed plumbers operates with a strict code of ethics. We strive to do what’s best for the customer. You can count on us to discuss your repair or replacement options honestly.

Paola Moorer

Jackson D. Was awesome, we had a problem with our bathtub/sink pipes, he arrived very quickly (called at 4:45pm on a Saturday and he was at our home by 5:30) and he talked us through everything he was doing. He diagnosed and fixed the problem very fast. Would highly recommend!!! Great service and good price.

Veronika Hyatt

Richard was a great plumber—professional, kind, and very knowledgeable. He patiently answered all my questions and quickly fixed the problem. I really appreciated his honesty and the care he took to make sure everything was working properly. Highly recommend Richard if you need a reliable plumber!

Adam Tillotson

This is easily the most professional, reliable, thoughtful, service oriented organization I have worked with in years! I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their staff is consultative without being salesy or pushy, executes on their work, stands behind the quality of what they do and are a joy to work with. Top, top tier experience and would use them before any other plumber in Tucson.

Christine Conley

I love Benjamin Franklin plumbing, they are great. And reasonably priced. Sebastian came out today and was amazing, very kind and well educated with his work. He will definitely be my go to guy, from here on out . Thank you Sabastian great job.

Mike Jones

Estimate for utility sink removal and replacement did a great job of breaking down the work entailed and the price point for each. Easy to understand. He was on time. Installation went great. There was a small leak detected in one of the parts. Quickly got a new part and fixed at no extra cost. Colin did a great job of all the work requested over the past several days.

Marian Gilbert

I had a great experience with Matthew from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. From the moment he arrived, he was professional, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to clearly explain what was going on, walked me through the options, and made sure I understood everything before starting the work. Matthew was efficient, detail-oriented, and left the workspace clean when he finished. It’s obvious he takes pride in doing the job right the first time. What really stood out was his honesty and transparency — no upselling, no pressure, just straightforward recommendations and quality workmanship. It’s not always easy to find contractors you can trust, but Matthew absolutely earned my confidence. I would highly recommend him and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to anyone needing reliable, high-quality plumbing work.

Dottie S.

Dylan was awesome. Got it all fixed for me and I am very happy. I will definitely be calling again if I have any other problems In the future. Thank you, Dylan!

Michael Murphy

We have an old tub and plumbing fixtures but he was able to find the replacement cartridges for it (with help from the Benjamin Franklin team) now we have more drips. Also replaced the kitchen sink drain so now it’ll hold water. Aven was very courteous, respectful and answered/ explained what why and how the cartridge functioned. He also told me about the warranty on the parts he replaced also what to be aware of the age of the faucet mechanicals that there might be some issues in the future. I appreciate the honesty of his explanations and his work. Thank you!

david fewell

Joseph was awesome. He did a fabulous job in getting the sink working again. He worked quickly and was very friendly. I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin for any of your plumbing needs.

William Starkie

I was replacing a 19 year old water heater and made 4 calls to local plumbers for estimates. Two never returned calls with my 2 follow-up calls. One gave me an estimate over the phone and Benjamin Franklin comes to the house to give an estimate. David showed up (very personable and low pressure) gave me an estimate that was $450 less than his competition with a name brand heater. He had the heater and supplies on the truck so he was able to do the job right then. Nice neat and clean work done in about 1-1 1/2 hours. Highly recommend.

Plumbing FAQs

What routine maintenance should I be doing for my Nashville water heater?

To keep your water heater running smoothly in Nashville, it’s a good idea to flush the tank once a year to clear out sediment, especially if your area has hard water. Check the pressure relief valve, inspect for rust or leaks, and make sure the thermostat is set to a safe temperature (usually around 120°F). Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your unit and keeps your hot water flowing efficiently. For peace of mind, consider scheduling a professional inspection with a local plumber.

How do I know if I need a Nashville plumber for my home's low water pressure?

If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your Nashville home, it could be a sign of a clogged pipe, leak, or a problem with your water supply. Try cleaning faucet aerators first, but if the issue persists, it’s best to call a licensed plumber in Nashville to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Do you offer emergency plumbing service in Nashville?

We are available 24/7 to take your call for emergencies. Our appointment hours are listed above.

How often should I schedule drain cleaning for my Nashville property?

For most homes in Nashville, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups. If your property has older pipes, large trees nearby, or frequent slow drains, you may need service more often. Regular maintenance keeps your plumbing flowing smoothly and protects your home from unexpected issues.For most homes in Nashville, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups.

Do you offer plumbing financing in Nashville?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore functionality in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

Are there plumbing upgrades that can help conserve water in my Nashville home?

Yes! Upgrading to low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets can significantly reduce water use in your Nashville home. You can also install smart leak detectors and tankless water heaters for added efficiency. A local plumber can recommend the best options based on your home’s setup and water usage habits.

What are common plumbing issues in older Nashville homes?

Older homes in Nashville often face plumbing issues like corroded or outdated pipes, low water pressure, and frequent leaks. You might also encounter problems with old fixtures, sewer line deterioration, or poor drainage. A professional inspection can help identify hidden issues and recommend upgrades to keep your plumbing system safe and efficient.

What should I do to prepare my plumbing for winter in Nashville?

To get your plumbing ready for winter in Nashville, start by insulating exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like basements and garages. Disconnect outdoor hoses, shut off exterior water lines, and check your water heater for optimal performance. It’s also smart to know where your main shut-off valve is in case of a frozen pipe emergency.

How can I tell if my sewer line is damaged in Nashville?

Signs of a damaged sewer line in your home include frequent drain clogs, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains.
