Water Heater Repair & Replacement in Murfreesboro, TN

Most water heater calls start the same way: a cold shower, or a puddle on the floor of the garage or utility closet. Simply Plumbing replaces gas and electric tank water heaters for homeowners across Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee, and a licensed plumber handles the job from start to finish.

Water heaters are one of the jobs we want more of, and we price them that way. As a small shop with low overhead, we can usually come in under the big companies, and we put more care into the install than you’ll often get from a crew rushing to the next call.

Tank water heaters don’t last forever, and they usually give you some warning before they quit. Call if you notice any of these:

• Water pooling around the base of the tank
• Rusty or discolored hot water
• Popping, rumbling, or banging while it heats
• Running out of hot water faster than you used to
• A gas pilot that won’t stay lit, or an electric heater that keeps tripping
• A tank that’s simply getting old and you’d rather not wait for it to fail

A leaking tank only gets worse. Until a plumber can get there, turn off the cold water supply valve at the top of the heater. On a gas heater, turn the gas control to the off position. On an electric heater, switch off its breaker. That keeps the leak from spreading and protects the heater while it sits empty.

Then call or text Simply Plumbing. We’ll get you on the schedule, tell you what we find, and give you a price before anything gets replaced.

Not every water heater problem means a new tank. No hot water, water that never gets hot enough, a pilot that won’t stay lit, or a heater that trips its breaker is often a single failed part, and a repair is the smart call. We troubleshoot the heater first and tell you what we found before anything gets replaced.

Common water heater repairs include:

• Heating elements and thermostats on electric heaters
• Gas control valves, thermocouples and igniters on gas heaters
• Leaking drain valves and temperature-and-pressure relief valves
• Supply connections and shutoff valves around the heater

You’re dealing with a plumber, not a salesman, so we’ll tell you which way we’d go and why. If a part fixes it, we fix it, and the repair carries our 90-day warranty. If the tank itself is leaking or the heater is near the end of its life, a repair just buys time, and we’ll lay out your replacement options instead.

Some homeowners use a replacement as the time to go tankless. If you’re curious, we’re happy to price both so you can compare. Read more on our tankless water heater page.

A water heater is only as good as how it’s installed. We take real pride in clean, correct work, which means the details get done right:

• Gas heaters vented and connected properly
• Electric heaters wired to the correct circuit
• New water connections and a working shutoff valve
• The relief valve piped where it’s supposed to go
• An expansion tank added when your system calls for one

The process is simple, and you know the price before anything gets done.

Every water heater install gets a 1-year warranty on the work. No upsold protection plans, no fine-print gimmicks, just a plumber who stands behind the install. If you’re switching from electric to gas, we can also handle the gas line ourselves.

You’ll get a well-groomed, well-spoken plumber who parks on the street, keeps dirt out of your house, and respects your home. If you’re in Murfreesboro or the surrounding area and your water heater is giving you trouble, call or text (931) 993-2525 or send us a request.
