WHY IT MATTERS

Signs You Need to Replace Your Electric Water Heater

Not sure if it’s time for an electric hot water heater replacement? Here are some signs to look for. If your water heats much more slowly than before – or doesn’t heat at all – it could be a sign that something’s not working properly, and you may need a replacement. High energy bills could also be a clue that your unit is working overtime to keep up.

Leaks, rust, and strange noises like popping or banging are other red flags. If your system is over 10 years old and repairs pile up, it might be a better idea to replace it. At The Hot Water Heater Pros in Franklin, TN, we’ll help you figure out what’s best for your home – and make sure you never run out of hot water again. Not on our watch!

Electric Water Heater Replacement Cost & Factors That Affect Pricing

The electric water heater replacement cost can vary based on a few things. The size and type of the unit play a big role – larger and higher-efficiency models cost more. Installation complexity may also affect pricing; for example, water heater installation in an attic would cost more. Some homes may require upgrades to meet codes or permit requirements, especially if it’s been many years since the last installation.

At The Hot Water Heater Pros, we offer transparent and upfront pricing, so you’ll always know what to expect. And if you’d rather pay over time, we also offer flexible financing options to make your upgrade more affordable.

FAQs About
Electric Water Heater Replacement

How Long Does it Take to Replace an Electric Water Heater?

Replacing an electric water heater typically takes about 2 to 4 hours, depending on the type of unit and any necessary adjustments to plumbing or electrical connections. At The Hot Water Heater Pros, we ensure a fast and efficient process, while making sure everything is tested and up to code for optimal performance.

What Size Electric Water Heater Do I Need for My Home?

The size of the electric water heater you need depends on your household size and hot water usage. For tank models, a 40-50 gallon unit is typically suitable for homes with 1-2 bathrooms, while a 50-80 gallon model is recommended for homes with 3-4 bathrooms. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, provide endless hot water and are rated by their flow rate (gallons per minute). For personalized advice, call The Hot Water Heater Pros at (615) 767-0541.

Can I Replace My Electric Water Heater Myself, or Should I Hire a Professional?

While it is possible to replace an electric water heater yourself, we strongly recommend hiring a professional. Replacing a water heater involves working with electrical connections and plumbing, which can be dangerous without the proper experience and tools. At The Hot Water Heater Pros, our specialists ensure safe installation, compliance with all codes, and minimal disruption to your home, providing you with peace of mind throughout the entire process.

How Much Does it Cost to Replace an Electric Water Heater?

The electric water heater replacement cost in Franklin, TN depends on the unit size and type. Prices start at $1,600 for a 40- or 50-gallon tall electric water heater and go up to $3,450 for an 80-gallon model. Lowboy options range from $2,100 to $2,200. For Voltex (Heat Pump) models, contact us for pricing. Get a precise quote from The Hot Water Heater Pros for professional replacement with no hidden fees.

How Do I Know When My Electric Water Heater Needs to Be Replaced?

Your electric water heater may need replacing if it’s over 8-12 years old, breaks down often, or causes high energy bills. Other signs include inconsistent temperatures, leaks, or discolored water. If these issues occur, replacement is often more cost-effective than repairs. Let The Hot Water Heater Pros help you assess and choose the best replacement.

How Long Do Electric Water Heaters Usually Last?

Electric water heaters typically last 8-12 years. Regular maintenance can extend their lifespan, but if you notice frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, or inconsistent heating, it may be time for a replacement.

I called late on a weeknight after my hot water heater failed. My call was answered right away. They were able to give me a quote over the phone based on the size and type of water heater I had and I was scheduled for the next morning for install. They arrived on time and finished within a couple hours. Very thankful for their quick and responsive service

This is the best water heater experience I have ever had! After being quoted an exorbitant amount by another company to replace my water heater, I was recommended The Water Heater Pros and they came in with a much better price, much better customer service and not trying to sell me on stuff I didn’t need! They were in and out in less than a hour and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

We have had nothing but good experiences with The Hot Water Pros of Franklin. They did a tankless water heater replacement for us while we were out of town and everything went smoothly. There were a few things that needed attention afterward, and they promptly showed up to fix them. A few months later, we had a recurring issue and they came in an hour after I called them to fix it. Highly recommend.

Chris returned my call promptly, answered my questions and scheduled a visit quickly for first thing the next morning. He arrived promptly on time. Given the age of my existing hot water heater (+15yo) replacement required. He was very patient to walk me through the replacement options and answer my questions to help me choose the best fit solution. Replacement was reasonably priced and available immediately to be installed. In fact, I advised Chris that I had an appointment out of the home later this morning and he began the uninstall of old unit right away, while a colleague dropped off the new unit, to help best accommodate my schedule! New unit installed, Chris walked me through the warranty information and various parts of new unit and his installation. Work area left clean and tidy – all done quickly and I was on time for my appointment as well! Very good experience from start to finish! (Even handyman here doing repair work on the deck was impressed! 😁) Thanks for making what could have been a very stressful situation, as painless as possible.

Outstanding service and quality of installation.
Initially there was a minor installation issue with the first tank they installed. I called and spoke with Eric who manages the installs. He took a look at a photo of the install and immediately said they would fix it (not even a hint of pushback). The next day a service tech came out and installed a completely new 50 gallon tank. The next time I have to replace a hot water heater I’m definitely calling the Hot Water Heater Pros, they’ve earned my trust.

Whew!
As usual, our 8 year old unit failed just before the holiday weekend. After reading numerous reviews, I chose this company. The owner was so patient with my questions over the holiday and I completely respected that his team had the weekend off. Very class act in this day and age.
But, as of 11am Monday morning, we have a beautifully installed heatpump water heater. Hoping for some electricity savings! Thanks to Steve and Cole!! Thank you so much!!

The install was quick. The price was competitive. I did have a small issue with a noise after running water. The guys had to come out a few times to resolve the issue (due to me not being able to reproduce it while they were here), but they did fix the issue once they could hear what I was hearing. They were always prompt, kind, and took the time to explain everything to me. I HIGHLY recommend this company!

These guys are literal life savers. We were getting the run around from other big name plumbers and had been out of hot water for 3 days. My husband talked to Chris at The Hot Water Heater Pros and he ordered the part we needed, got it next day and installed the day he got the part. Thank you guys so much you took a ton of stress off of my shoulders. I will be using them in the future and recommend them to anyone with hot water heater issues.

These guys provide great service .When I discovered one day that our water heater was no longer heating water I knew we needed to replace our system and I wanted a top quality tankless system.
After I did a lot of research I was able to connect with The Hot Water Heater Pros. I called them mid-day and they were able to schedule an appointment to come out that afternoon. They confirmed the problems with my old system. Then they reviewed with me several different systems . I made my choice accepted the quote they provided and they were back to install my new unit the very next morning. The system works great !!
I highly recommend THE HOT WATER HEATER PROS

Our water heater went out on a Friday afternoon. After calling several companies, The Hot Water Heater Pros was the only one that could be out early Monday to replace it. They gave me a quote over the phone and it ended up being the final price. Extremely transparent on pricing.

The small crew arrived on time and quickly assessed that the standard heater they had brought would not fit properly. After a quick phone call, they walked me through a few alternatives that will work. After making a decision, one member left to get another heater while the other removed the dead one.

The guys were very courteous, did a great job, and left the area cleaner than they found it. They walked me through what to expect and told me to call if I had any issues.

I will be recommending these guys to anyone that has a need!

I have worked with these guys for our house and our rental property and they are fantastic. Two nights ago our tenant called at 8:45 pm to say that the water heater was leaking badly. I left a voicemail for the water heater pros at 8:50 PM. At 6:45 AM the next morning I had a text and an appointment and the whole thing was resolved by 11 AM. They also installed a tankless heater at our primary residence with the same degree of responsiveness and quality. Spectacular service. Highly recommend.

I had water running from my broken water heater and once these guys found out that I had water running they figured out a way to get to me same day. I really appreciated this, not only because the water was running but the next day I would be in bed for a night shift and it would be hard to sleep with water heater installation just below my bedroom, or at least I figured. These guys were neat and clean about their work, fast, installed what I think is a good brand of water heater after some research, and were quite reasonably priced. We had to pay with two different debit cards and they figured out a way to make it work. Everything about my experience was great. Highly recommend these guys.

Without a doubt the best service company to work with! I’ve been a hime owner for 40years and knew the price I got from another company was way out of line. I found The Water Heater Pros through a Google search and they quoted me over the phone and next day installed it!! Excellent price and service!! They were kind gentlemen and respectful of my home.

Very impressed with every aspect of this company. I requested some information and the owner, Eric, responded immediately. And after I sent him a photo of my existing water heater, he gave me a firm quote and scheduled me for a few days later.
The installation was schedule for 11:00am and the crew were here within a couple of minutes of the schedule. The job was done quickly, with the upmost professionalism, and cleaned up before they left (with the old water heater). All in all, I could not be more satisfied with The Hot Water Heater Pros!

From the initial phone support to the service call, everyone I worked with was knowledgeable and attentive, and were very open about the process, pricing and my options.

A different company had previously just looked at my water heater and quoted a high price for replacement, while this crew took the time to diagnose the actual condition, and then give me a set of well-explained options. They also educated me on how to maintain the system to avoid potential issues going forward. To me, this built a lot of trust, and speaks volumes to their integrity.

My follow-up questions were also handled very graciously, and I appreciate how helpful and personable the entire experience was.

Thanks Hot Water Heater Pros!

Great experience with Steve and Chuck from The Water Heater Pros! Called this morning at 7:15am to deal with a water heater leak I discovered last night. They were to my house before 8am and immediately diagnosed the problem. My inner tank was leaking and needed to be replaced. They ran to Nashville and back to get a replacement and had everything installed and back up and running by 11:15am. Amazing!! They were both very personable and were helpful in explaining what needed to be done and what they were doing along the way. Also gave me some things to look out for going forward. 100% would recommend!
