We handle all types of water heater systems including traditional tank units, tankless models, gas, electric, and hybrid systems. Whether you need emergency repair, routine maintenance, or full replacement, we’ve got the right solution.
Parkway’s hard water creates specific challenges for water heaters. Mineral buildup reduces efficiency and shortens equipment life, but our maintenance services help combat these issues. We flush tanks, descale tankless units, and replace components before they fail.
For replacement projects, we help you choose between tank and tankless options based on your family’s needs and budget. Tankless units save space and energy but require higher upfront investment. Traditional tanks cost less initially but may need more frequent maintenance in our hard water conditions.
In Parkway’s hard water conditions, tank water heaters typically last 6-8 years without proper maintenance, compared to 10-15 years with regular care. The high mineral content in our local water accelerates sediment buildup and corrosion.
Tankless systems can last 15-20 years but need descaling every 12-18 months to prevent mineral deposits from damaging internal components. Regular maintenance is essential here because our water contains more calcium and magnesium than softer water areas.
The key is staying ahead of the buildup through annual tank flushing and professional descaling services. This maintenance investment pays off by extending your water heater’s life and maintaining its efficiency.
Water heater replacement in Parkway typically ranges from $1,200 to $4,500 depending on the type and size of unit you choose. Standard tank water heaters usually cost $1,200-$2,500 installed, while tankless systems run $2,500-$4,500.
The final cost depends on factors like your home’s existing plumbing, electrical requirements, permit fees, and any code upgrades needed. Gas units may require venting modifications, while electric systems might need electrical panel upgrades.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Our estimates include equipment, labor, permits, and cleanup with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair cost is less than half the replacement cost, repair usually makes sense. For older units or major component failures, replacement is typically the better long-term investment.
Consider replacement if you’re dealing with frequent repairs, rusty water, inconsistent temperatures, or significantly higher energy bills. These signs often indicate your system is nearing the end of its useful life, especially in our hard water conditions.
We’ll give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense for your situation. Sometimes a simple thermostat replacement can buy you several more years, while other times replacement prevents ongoing frustration and expense.
A water softener can significantly extend your water heater’s life in Parkway. Our hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium that form scale deposits inside tanks and tankless systems, reducing efficiency and causing premature failure.
Water softeners remove these minerals before they reach your water heater, reducing maintenance needs and energy costs. Tank units benefit from less sediment buildup, while tankless systems need descaling less frequently with softened water.
The investment in a water softener often pays for itself through reduced maintenance costs and extended equipment life. We can help you evaluate whether a whole-house system makes sense for your situation and budget.
Most Parkway homes need a 40-50 gallon tank water heater or an 8-10 GPM tankless unit. The right size depends on your household size, usage patterns, and the number of bathrooms and appliances that use hot water.
For tank systems, figure about 10-15 gallons per person for basic needs, plus extra capacity if you have a dishwasher, washing machine, or large soaking tub. A family of four typically needs at least a 50-gallon tank for comfortable hot water supply.
Tankless sizing is based on simultaneous hot water demand. If you might run the dishwasher while someone showers, you’ll need higher flow rates. We calculate your peak demand to recommend the right tankless capacity for your specific usage patterns.
In Parkway’s hard water conditions, tank water heaters should be flushed annually, with twice-yearly service often beneficial for extending equipment life. Tankless systems need descaling every 12-18 months depending on usage and water hardness levels.
Regular maintenance includes checking the anode rod, testing the pressure relief valve, and inspecting for leaks or corrosion. These simple steps can prevent major failures and keep your system running efficiently.
Professional maintenance typically takes about an hour and costs much less than emergency repairs. We recommend scheduling service before problems develop, as preventive maintenance costs about one-fourth what emergency repairs typically run.
