"Please take my review seriously and consider another service provider for your HVAC, electrical, and plumbing needs. Pioneer Home Services should not be trusted with your most valuable asset - your home. *I would encourage you to take all of their positive reviews with a grain of salt - their techs pressure customers to leave five star reviews before they leave your home at the end of a job. Yelp has much more accurate reviews. My more detailed review can be found on Yelp, Google Reviews, BBB. I spent $60,000 with Pioneer AND paid them for their yearly maintenance plan, only to find out that the work they did was incomplete, incorrect, and dangerous. I had to fight with them every step of the way to get it fixed. I know it can be hard to find a home services company in Nashville, and when your heat or air conditioning is out there?s a lot of urgency to get someone to your home ASAP, but do not call Pioneer."

Burke Plumbing & Drains was founded in October of 2024. With over a decade in experience, we can handle any plumbing issue. If quality, honesty, reliability, and affordability are important factors to you, then please give us a call!

"Highly recommend! I called another plumber initially about my issue. They wanted to charge me an arm and a leg. I got a second opinion from Burke’s Plumbing. Tyler was able to come out quickly and did it for much less than originally quoted by another plumber. The work he did was quality. I’m so glad my shower is no longer leaking and I still have both arms and legs!"

"I was nervous about this as I had never had to install a gas line. I thought it was going to be intensive, expensive and might mean my having to paint the laundry room that I had just completed because we'd moved in only days prior. He was to the point, didn't try to upsale, and never stopped working. I really appreciated having the ability to dry a couple of loads of clothing (the weather wasn't cooperating, though I tried hanging the clothing outside) in just a few hours. Highly recommend!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

No, you’ll need to drain the tank before changing a water heater element, as the water heater element sticks through the side of the tank and uses a gasket to prevent water from pouring out. However, you don’t always need to drain it completely. If you’re only replacing the upper heating element, you can drain the tank until the water line is below the element. If you’re replacing the lower element, you’ll need to drain the whole thing.

Your water heater's age can affect your homeowners' insurance policy. Many policies will ask how old the heater is when you first apply for a policy—and they may make you replace a model that's over 10 years old. 

Even if your policy permits you to have an older heater, it may significantly reduce the amount of protection available. If an older water heater suddenly leaks and causes damage to parts of your home, your policy may not cover it.

A tankless water heater with a flow rate of 10 GPM should replace a conventional 50-gallon water heater. To avoid a surprise cold shower or two and to keep your energy costs in check, it's important to replace a conventional tanked water heater with the equivalent tankless water heater. Your household size and the number of hot-water-using devices you use at once can help you determine the best-size tankless water heater.

The time it takes to replace a water heater depends on the complexity of the job. Expect your contractor to spend:

  • One to three hours on a standard tank-style water heater replacement

  • Two to three hours on a tankless water heater replacement

  • Four to six hours replacing a tank-style water heater with a tankless water heater

  • One hour for each additional parallel or point-of-use water heater

Your project will take longer if you’re switching fuel sources, upgrading to tankless, or relocating your water heater.

It usually takes a professional water heater installer between two and three hours to remove an existing water heater and install a new tank heater. However, it could take four to five hours if they have to work in a small utility closet or another tight area, like a crawl space. Tankless water heaters have a more complicated installation process, so they will take a bit longer. Additionally, a gas water heater requires a connection to a gas line, and that alone can add about an hour to the installation timeline compared to installing an electric water heater.
