Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a sewer inspection cost?
The cost depends on the type of system you choose, whether gas or electric connections need updates, and the size of the unit. After evaluating your current setup, we explain your options and review pricing before starting work. You will know the total cost before approving installation.
How long does installation take?
Most standard water heater installation jobs can be completed in a few hours. Tankless systems may take longer depending on venting or gas line adjustments. We provide a clear time estimate during your appointment so you know what to expect.
Can I switch from a tank to tankless?
Yes. Tankless water heater installation is possible in many homes, though gas line sizing or venting modifications may be required. We inspect your system first to confirm compatibility and explain any adjustments needed.
Do you offer warranties on new installations?
We provide a 1-year parts and labor warranty on most services. Manufacturer warranties also apply, depending on the unit selected. We review coverage details before completing installation.
Are your plumbers experienced with gas systems?
Yes. Smedley Plumbing holds Master Plumber licensing with gas. Gas water heater installation requires proper connection and venting, and we follow safety standards carefully during setup.
How do I know which size water heater I need?
Sizing depends on household size and simultaneous hot water use. During evaluation, we consider:
- Number of bathrooms
- Appliance usage
- Peak demand times
- Current tank capacity
Selecting the correct size ensures steady performance without overspending on capacity you do not need. If you still have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out .
Straight answers
How long should a water heater last?
A conventional tank water heater typically lasts 8 to 12 years; a well-maintained tankless unit can run 20 years or more. If yours is over 10 years old and leaking from the tank body, replacement is the honest answer — a leaking tank cannot be repaired.
Do you install the units sold at big-box stores?
We install professional supply-house units, not big-box models. We tore both apart side by side on video and over a million people have watched the difference. The parts, the anode rod, and the warranty support are not the same product.
Should I go tankless?
Gas tankless is an excellent upgrade for most homes — endless hot water and a much longer service life. We do not recommend whole-home electric tankless in our climate; it rarely performs the way people hope, and we will tell you that rather than sell you one.
40 gallon or 50 gallon?
A 40-gallon tank suits most one-to-three-person households; 50 gallons suits three to five people or homes with a large soaking tub. Most Kansas City homes we work in run a 50.
How much does it cost to come out?
Our service charge is $89, and it is applied toward the work when we do the repair. You will know the full price to the penny before we start anything.
Are you available after hours?
Yes. Smedley Plumbing is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and a real person answers the phone. Call (816) 763-3539 — that spells (816) SMEDLEY.
