Most people call when an old tank leaks, runs cold too fast or is just worn out. Terrill looks at your setup, tells you what size and type make sense, and gives you the price. Then he takes out the old unit, sets the new one and tests every joint.
You usually know it's time when the old tank leaks at the base, or hot water runs out halfway through a shower.
A leak from the tank body can't be patched. Once the steel rusts through, a new heater is the only fix.
Rust on the hot side only often means the tank is rusting inside. That gets worse, not better.
Your family may have outgrown the tank, or sediment has filled the bottom.
After several fixes in a short time, a new unit may cost less over the next few years.
Age alone isn't a reason to replace. Age plus rust or drips is worth planning for.
A new bathroom or a switch from electric to gas means sizing and hooking up for the change.

| Job | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Like-for-like tank swap | Often a few hoursSame size, fuel and spot is quickest. |
| New size or new spot | Often most of a dayNew piping or venting adds time. |
| Attic installs | Can take longerTight access slows getting tanks in and out. |
Typical ranges, not promises. Terrill tells you the real timeline once he has seen the job.
Terrill checks your old heater, the vent, the gas or power supply and how your household uses hot water.
He explains what he'd install and why, and gives you the price. Nothing starts until you say yes.
He drains and removes the old tank, then ties the new one into the water, fuel and vent, with a new relief valve.
He fills the tank, starts it up, and checks every joint for leaks and the vent for a proper draw.

We don't post prices, because no two installs are the same. Terrill looks at your setup first and gives you a clear price before any work starts.
A bigger tank costs more and can take more work to fit.
Gas needs a hookup and venting. Electric needs the right circuit.
Attic and closet installs take more time than a garage floor.
Financing through Hearth is available if you'd rather spread the cost.
Every price is given before work starts. Larger jobs can be financed through Hearth.

The attic photos on this page are from one of Terrill's own jobs: two gas tank heaters, then one wall-mounted tankless unit with new PVC venting.
Many homes around Benbrook and Fort Worth keep the gas water heater in the attic. That spot takes a beating in a North Texas summer, and a leak up there can soak through a ceiling. A drain pan matters more there than in a garage.
Our hard water leaves scale in the bottom of a tank over time, which can shorten its life. When Terrill puts in a new unit, he'll show you how to flush it. Permits and inspections go through your city where required, so check with your city.

If your tank is old and shows rusty water, a small leak or short hot water, planning ahead is often smarter. A failed tank in the attic can ruin the ceiling below. Replacing it on your schedule lets you choose the unit.
Yes, in most homes. The switch often needs a larger gas line, new venting and a spot on a wall. We have turned attic tank setups into wall-mounted tankless units. Terrill will tell you honestly which type suits your home.
It depends on how many people live in your home, how many bathrooms you have and how you use hot water. Terrill asks how your current tank has kept up. If you run out often, he may suggest a bigger size.
In many cities, yes, replacing a water heater needs a permit and an inspection. Rules differ between Benbrook, Fort Worth and the other cities we serve, so check with your city. Terrill does the work to code either way, and tells you what he knows.
Yes. We stand behind our install with a workmanship warranty, and we pursue the manufacturer warranty on the parts we put in. The maker's coverage depends on the brand and model. Terrill will walk you through it before you decide.
Yes. TD Plumbing Solutions offers financing through Hearth, so you can spread the cost of a new water heater instead of paying at once. Terrill gives you the full price first, then you decide if financing makes sense for your home.
You'll be without hot water while the old unit is out and the new one heats up. Cold water can often come back on sooner. Terrill will tell you roughly how long your job should take, so you can plan around it.
