What we do

Gas Water Heater Diagnosis

Thermocouple, gas valve, burner assembly, pilot assembly — we diagnose what's actually wrong before recommending repair or replacement.

Pilot assembly, thermocouple, gas valve, anode rod, pressure relief valve, and dip tube repairs. If it can be fixed at a reasonable cost, we'll fix it.

Same-Day Gas Water Heater Replacement

We stock 40-gallon and 50-gallon gas units. Most replacements are done the same day — we install the new unit and haul off the old one.

We handle gas connections correctly and ensure your installation meets Arkansas plumbing code. No cutting corners on gas work.

How pricing works

Common questions about gas water heaters

How much does a 40-gallon gas water heater cost to replace in Arkansas?

A 40-gallon gas water heater installed typically runs $800–$1,400 depending on the brand and any code-required upgrades. We give you a written quote before any work begins — no surprises.

Is a 40-gallon gas water heater enough for my family?

A 40-gallon unit handles most families of 1–4 people in Arkansas. If you're regularly running out of hot water, a 50-gallon unit or tankless may be worth considering. We'll help you decide based on your actual usage.

My pilot light keeps going out — do I need a new water heater?

Not necessarily. A pilot that won't stay lit usually means the thermocouple is failing — a relatively inexpensive repair. We diagnose it first before recommending a replacement.

Can you replace my gas water heater the same day?

Yes — we stock 40-gallon and 50-gallon gas units. Call (501) 512-3944 in the morning and we'll usually have you back with hot water by afternoon.

Natural gas or propane — does it matter?

The units themselves are different — a natural gas water heater can't be used with propane without conversion, and vice versa. We install both and make sure the fuel type matches your home's supply.
