Water Heater Installation in Franklin & Nashville, TN

Water heater installation is removing a failed or aging unit and installing a new one, with the water, gas or electrical, venting, drain, and safety-valve connections made to code. A Prodigy installation covers sizing the new heater to your household, pulling a permit where the city or county requires one, and testing for leaks, safe pressure relief, and steady hot water before the technician leaves.

Prodigy Sewer & Drain installs tank and tankless water heaters, gas and electric, in Franklin, Nashville, and the surrounding Williamson and Davidson County communities. Our water heater work carries a 2-year warranty on top of the manufacturer’s warranty on the unit, permits are passed through at cost, and financing is available through Synchrony and Service Finance.

A tank water heater keeps a stored supply of hot water ready; a tankless water heater heats water only as it flows. Tanks cost less up front and make the simplest like-for-like replacement. Tankless units cost more to install but never run out mid-shower and last longer. We install both, and we have switched Middle Tennessee homes from tank to tankless.

The right water heater size depends on your household’s busiest hour of hot-water use, not on the size of the house. For a tank heater, compare the first-hour rating (FHR), which is the number of gallons of hot water a storage heater can deliver in an hour starting with a full tank, against that peak hour, such as back-to-back showers while the dishwasher runs.

For a tankless heater, size by flow rate: add up the gallons per minute of the fixtures you run at the same time, and allow for how cold the incoming water gets in a Middle Tennessee winter, because colder water needs more heating at the same flow. Prodigy checks your household and your current unit and recommends a size before you buy, not the biggest tank on the truck.

Replace a water heater when the tank itself is leaking, the hot water runs rusty from a corroding tank, or the unit keeps failing. Replacement also makes sense when a repair would cost a large share of a new heater, when your household has outgrown the tank, or when you want to switch to tankless. Not sure? Start with a water heater repair visit, and we will tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it.

The installed price of a new water heater depends on the type (tank or tankless, gas or electric), its size, and what your site needs, such as venting, gas, or electrical changes. Prodigy confirms the full installed price with you before any work starts. Permits are passed through at cost, there is no cancellation fee and no travel or mileage surcharge, and financing is available.
