What does Music City Plumber do?

We handle plumbing, heating and cooling (HVAC) and electrical work for homes and businesses: leaks, drains, sewer lines, water heaters, air conditioners, furnaces, ducts, outlets, panels, lighting, EV chargers, generators and more.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. Call 615-357-7797 or send us a message and we will set up a free estimate. We look at the problem, explain what we found and give you clear options.

What should I do if I have a burst pipe right now?

Shut off the main water valve if you can reach it safely, turn off the water heater, move valuables and call us at 615-357-7797. If there is any chance water has reached electrical equipment, stay away and call for help.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Leave the home right away, do not use switches or flames, and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. Call us once it has been cleared.

Can one company really handle plumbing, HVAC and electrical?

Yes. Many home problems cross trades, such as a water heater that needs a gas line and a new circuit, or an AC replacement that needs electrical work. One team keeps the project coordinated.

How do I know if I should repair or replace something?

Age, condition, how often it has failed and what a repair would involve all matter. We explain both options side by side, and you decide.

Do you work on rental properties and businesses?

Yes. We work in rentals, restaurants, shops and offices as well as homes, and we plan the work around your schedule.

Will you explain the problem before you fix it?

Always. We tell you what we found and what your options are before any work begins, so there are no surprises.

Where do you work?

Music City Plumber serves 20 Middle Tennessee cities, including Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville and Gallatin. Browse the service areas page or call us to confirm your address.

How do I get started?

How can I tell if I have a hidden water leak?

A rising water bill, a water meter that moves when everything is off, damp or stained surfaces and the sound of running water are common clues. Our Leak and Drip Calculator shows what a small leak can cost in water.

How often should I flush or service my water heater?

Many manufacturers recommend a yearly flush and an occasional anode check for tank heaters. We can look at your unit and recommend a schedule.

Is a tankless water heater right for my home?

It can be a great fit, but it needs enough gas supply or electrical capacity and proper venting. Our Water Heater Size Calculator and a visit from us will tell you.

How often should I service my air conditioner and furnace?

Many recommend a visit before cooling season and another before heating season. Regular tune-ups help catch problems early.

What size air conditioner or furnace does my home need?

It depends on your home’s insulation, windows, ducts and sun exposure, not only square footage. Our AC and Furnace Size Calculator gives a first estimate that we confirm on site.

Why does my breaker keep tripping?

Overloaded circuits, short circuits, ground faults and failing breakers are common causes. Do not hold a breaker on or keep resetting it. Call us.

Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?

It depends on how much spare capacity your panel has. Our Home Electrical Load Calculator helps you see it, and we check your panel at the visit.

Do you pull permits and handle inspections?

Many plumbing, HVAC and electrical projects need permits and inspections. We help you understand what applies to your project and coordinate when required.
