About this service
What Old Water Heater Replacement in Carrollton actually involves
Old Water Heater Replacement in Carrollton is the removal of a failed or failing storage tank and the installation of a new water heater sized, vented, and wired to Georgia code. We drain the old unit, disconnect the gas flex connector or electrical whip, cut out corroded nipples, and set the new tank on a level pad. Then we rebuild the connections with copper pipe or PEX tubing, brass fittings, dielectric unions, and a fresh T&P valve, fill the tank, purge the air, and light it off. Most jobs are done in two to four hours.
Carrollton tanks take a beating. Our water carries enough mineral content that sediment buildup coats the bottom of a gas tank within a few years, and that layer cooks the steel until it weeps at the seam. Add a corroded anode rod and a failed heating element on the electric side, and you get popping noises, no hot water, and eventually a puddle in the garage. If you are searching for old water heater replacement near me in Carrollton, that is usually the week it happens.
- ✓ Hot water back same day
- ✓ Lower monthly gas bill
- ✓ No more leak damage
- ✓ Code-correct venting and T&P
What's included
What our old water heater replacement includes
Every replacement we do in Carrollton includes the tank, the connections, the labor, and the cleanup. Here is what is covered, so you know what you are paying for before we start.
Drain, removal, disposal
We pump out the old tank with a drain pump, disconnect the gas or electrical supply, and carry it out. The old unit leaves on our truck for recycling, not on your curb.
Code-correct connections
Gas flex connector and leak test, or electrical whip and breaker check. We install to Uniform Plumbing Code and NFPA 54 and pull a Carroll County permit when the job calls for one.
Fill, purge, and test
We fill the tank, purge air from every hot tap, and confirm the thermostat holds temperature before we pack up. You get a walkthrough of the shutoff valve and the anode rod service interval.
Warranty registration
We register the manufacturer warranty on Rheem, A. O. Smith, or Navien equipment and leave you the paperwork. Our labor warranty is separate and in writing.
How it works
How our replacement process runs
You describe the symptoms and we narrow it down fast. Rusty water, popping, or a wet floor usually means the tank is done. We confirm the fuel type, tank size, and whether it is in a garage, closet, or attic, then give you a price range before we roll.
Our technician tests the T&P valve with a tester, checks the anode rod, and reads the heating element or burner with a multimeter. If a thermostat or element swap would genuinely save the tank, we tell you. If the shell is compromised, we quote the replacement on the spot.
We shut the gas or breaker, hook up a water heater drain pump, and pull the old tank down. Expect 20 to 40 minutes. We cut out seized nipples with a tube cutter rather than forcing them, which protects the existing copper pipe and saves you a repipe charge.
The new unit goes on a level pad with dielectric unions, flexible connectors, Teflon tape and pipe dope on the threads, and a properly sized expansion tank where the system needs one. Gas units get a new gas flex connector and a leak test at every joint.
We fill the tank, purge air from every hot tap, and confirm the thermostat holds temperature. Then we walk you through the shutoff, the anode rod service interval, and the warranty paperwork. Old tank goes on the truck for disposal, not on your curb.

Tools & methods
Tools and methods we bring to the job
Water heater drain pump
Pumps the old tank down fast so we are not waiting 30 minutes for gravity. Cuts removal time and keeps the floor dry.
Tube cutter and flaring tool
Cuts out seized nipples and corroded copper pipe cleanly, so we can rebuild the connection without damaging the existing line.
Soldering torch and pipe wrench
For copper pipe repairs and tightening the new connections. We use dielectric unions at the tank to stop electrolysis between dissimilar metals.
Multimeter and T&P valve tester
Tests heating elements, thermostats, and the temperature and pressure relief valve before and after the swap, so nothing is left to chance.
Expansion tank and flexible connectors
Absorbs thermal expansion on closed systems and lets us set the new tank without stressing the existing piping.

Old Water Heater Replacement
Weeping gas tank in Downtown Carrollton
A 12-year-old 50-gallon gas tank was weeping at the seam and leaving a ring of rust on the garage floor. The homeowner was mopping it up every morning and had already moved stored boxes onto pallets.
After: We drained and removed the old unit, installed a new 50-gallon Rheem with a fresh T&P valve and expansion tank, and had hot water back in three hours. The floor has been dry since.

Old Water Heater Replacement
Rusty water in a Josey Ranch rental
Tenants reported orange-tinted hot water and a metallic smell. The anode rod was completely consumed and the drain valve was clogged with sediment, so the tank could not even be flushed.
After: We replaced the tank with a new 40-gallon unit, installed a fresh anode rod, and documented the install for the property manager. Water ran clear the same afternoon.

Old Water Heater Replacement
No hot water in a Hebron attic
An electric tank in an attic closet stopped producing hot water. The homeowner assumed the whole unit was dead and was bracing for a full replacement.
After: We tested the element and thermostat with a multimeter and found only the lower element had failed. We replaced the element and thermostat the same visit, saving the homeowner the cost of a new tank.

Problems we solve with old water heater replacement
Most Carrollton tanks fail the same handful of ways. Here is what we see on calls and how we handle each one.
Ask a pro →Leaking tank flooding the garage floor
We shut the supply, drain the tank, and set a new unit the same day. If the leak has already reached drywall, we flag it so you can get it dried out before mold sets in.
Rusty hot water and metallic taste
We confirm the diagnosis by checking the anode rod and the drain valve, then replace the tank and install a fresh anode rod so the new unit is protected from day one.
Popping and rumbling from sediment
Once the popping starts, the damage is usually done. We replace the tank and, for the new one, set you up on annual flushing to keep Carrollton's mineral content from doing it again.
No hot water after a pilot outage
We test the thermocouple and the gas supply, check the flue for blockage, and replace the tank if the gas valve or burner assembly is the real problem.
Transparent pricing
What old water heater replacement costs
$1,150 - $2,400 installed for a standard tank; $3,000+ for tankless or power vent conversions
Typical 2026 pricing in Carrollton runs $1,150 to $2,400 installed for a standard 40 or 50-gallon tank, all-in. That covers the unit, fittings, labor, permit where required, and haul-away of the old tank. Electric swaps usually land at the lower end, gas units in the middle, and tankless or power vent conversions above $3,000 because of venting and gas line work. We quote the full price before we start, so the number you hear on the phone is the number on the invoice. If you are comparing old water heater replacement company Carrollton GA quotes, ask whether disposal and permit are included. Ours are.
The price includes the tank, the fittings, the labor, the permit, and the disposal, with a manufacturer warranty on the unit and our own labor warranty on top. You are paying for a code-correct install that protects the tank and your home, not just a tank dropped in place.
•affects cost
A 40-gallon electric tank is the least expensive swap. A 75-gallon gas unit or a tankless conversion costs more because of the unit price, the venting, and sometimes a larger gas line.

Gas units need a flue, a gas flex connector, and a leak test. Power vent and direct vent models add PVC venting work, which raises labor.

Customer reviews
What Carrollton homeowners say
★★★★★
“Our 12-year-old gas tank started weeping on a Friday night. They answered, walked me through shutting the gas off, and had a new 50-gallon Rheem in by Saturday afternoon. Price was what they quoted on the phone, and they hauled the old one off. No mess in the garage.”

“We had rusty hot water for a month and kept putting it off. They tested the anode rod and the T&P valve, showed me the sediment in the tank, and replaced it the same visit. Hot water is clear again and the popping noise is gone. Should have called sooner.”

“I manage three rentals and needed a fast swap between tenants. They replaced the old water heater at one unit, handled the permit, and sent me the paperwork the same day. Tenant never lost a full day of hot water.”

Priya S.Landlord, Trinity Mills
✓ VerifiedTypical 2026 pricing in Carrollton runs $1,150 to $2,400 installed for a standard 40 or 50-gallon tank, including the unit, fittings, labor, and old tank disposal. Gas units land near the middle of that range, electric units run a bit lower, and tankless or power vent conversions push past $3,000 because of venting and gas line work. Emergency and after-hours calls add a trip charge.
We do, and we cover the whole city plus Carroll County. Our crews work Downtown Carrollton, Trinity Mills, Josey Ranch, Castle Hills, and the Belt Line corridor. We are state-licensed, insured, and we carry 40 and 50-gallon tanks on the truck so most jobs finish the same day you call.
A straight swap takes two to four hours from arrival to hot water. Drain and removal is 20 to 40 minutes, the new set and connection runs about 90 minutes, and filling plus purging air from the lines takes another 20. Attic installs, tight closets, or a needed expansion tank add an hour or so.
Yes. We answer 24/7 for leaking tanks, no hot water, and pilot light outages. A tank actively dumping water gets priority, and we will walk you through shutting off the supply valve and the gas or breaker while we are en route. Most emergency calls in Carrollton are handled the same day.
