The average homeowner counts on his or her water pump to maintain a continuous and efficient flow of water throughout his or her home, ranch or farm. Hopefully the one that you have at your home is doing its job!
However, we all know that issues with water pumps and the water flow within a home or business pop up from time to time. When this happens, you may find yourself asking if the problem you are facing is something that can be fixed or if the time has come for a replacement.
How exactly do you go about answering this question? Heart of Texas Propane can help. Keep on reading to figure out if you need a water pump repair or replacement.
When you’re facing the urgent question “should I repair or replace my water pump?” there are a few different factors to consider. This includes your pump’s age, what issue you are dealing with and how much a repair is going to cost you.
You also need to assess whether or not it is safe to keep your current water heater or if it is simply beyond the point of repair.
Here is a simple way to think about whether or not a repair is worth it: if the cost of the repair is going to be more than 50% of what getting a new water pump is going to cost, a replacement is probably the way to go.
There are all sorts of problems that can arise with a water pump. Leaks, a lack of water, unusual noises, a pump that won’t start and a pump that is overheating are some common issues home and business owners find themselves facing.
Sometimes an issue can be fixed quickly by simply replacing one small piece of a water pump. Sometimes upgrade to a new water pump makes more financial sense and can be less complicated.
The price of a water pump repair can fall anywhere between $375 and $1,625. The national average is around $975. Your final bill depends on the exact issue that you are dealing with, what part needs to be replaced or fixed, local labor rates and the specific type of pump you have.

Propane makes whatever appliances, equipment, or machinery it is fueling more efficient and effective.

Don’t believe us? Keep on reading for some specific information on just how efficient propane is and how this translates to more money in your pocket.
Here’s the long and short of it: propane delivers outstanding energy performance. In fact, propane-powered appliances are designed to work more efficiently and effectively than their electric counterparts. The energy source produces more heat per unit of energy than other fuels.
Here are some examples of propane’s efficiency:
The fact that propane appliances are so efficient means that they use and need fewer resources and less energy to do their jobs. This helps a homeowner cut back on their utility bills. Some homeowners can even cut their energy bills down by about 40–60% by switching from electricity to propane.
Propane’s efficiency certainly helps minimize costs. However, that is not the only way the fuel helps cut back on expenses.
Propane’s market price is typically more stable and affordable than the price of electricity.
Propane appliances usually require less maintenance and fewer repairs than electric or natural gas versions do. Therefore, you are also saving on repair and maintenance costs.
Propane furnaces last longer than both electric heat pumps and natural gas furnaces. Therefore, they are a better long-term investment, and you won’t find yourself shelling out money for new heating systems every few years.
Here in Texas, there are actually government incentives for switching to propane heating. Homeowners who install a new propane furnace can receive up to a $300 tax credit from the federal government. They are also eligible for a rebate of up to $300 from the Texas Propane Gas Association. Homeowners who live in Austin can receive up to a $200 rebate for installing a new propane water heater. Similar rebates are offered through other local governments in different cities here in Texas.
If you are looking to get the most out of your home’s appliances and equipment while minimizing your utility and energy costs, look no further than propane from Heart of Texas Propane.

Let’s take a detailed look at exactly what gets done when you hire a Heart of Texas Propane expert to install gas lines at your home.
You need a professional to pick out and plan the route for the gas lines and to figure out where exactly these lines are going to go. Most of the time, you can run pipes from a propane tank that is on a property into a home or to the outdoor appliances you are looking to power with propane, but this decision should really be left up to an expert.
There are local codes and regulations that need to be followed when it comes to gas line installations, and your average homeowner isn’t necessarily familiar with all of this. However, HOT Propane is. We can also obtain all the necessary permits and handle all the inspections that need to happen before the official installation process even starts.
Fuel leaks are a hazard that no homeowner wants to have to deal with. HOT Propane will perform a series of tests to make sure that your new lines are leak-proof.
Depending on exactly where you live, your local authorities may require that one final inspection be conducted after gas lines have been installed and tested for leaks. Once these authorities sign off, your new propane system should be good to go.

Using portable propane cylinders is a convenient, simple and effective way to fire up your grill, power a forklift, heat your patio or ignite a small fire pit. However, once that cylinder is running low on fuel, you will have to decide between a propane cylinder exchange and a propane cylinder refill.
Here at Heart of Texas Propane, we offer propane cylinder refills to customers in Central Texas and the Hill Country. There are quite a few reasons why we provide this service over an exchange. Let’s take a close look at exactly what they are.
Heart of Texas Propane has refilling stations conveniently located all over Central Texas and the Hill Country. This means that there is no need for you to drive around aimlessly looking for an exchange. All you need to do is bring your tank in during regular business hours, and we’ll get it filled up for you right away.
We have refilling stations in Brady, Brownwood, Dripping Springs, Goldthwaite, Harper, Kerrville, Llano, Mason and San Saba, Texas.
Exchanging propane cylinders often comes along with restocking fees as well as extra costs to cover the handling and transportation of a new tank. Plus, you forfeit any fuel that you happen to have left in a tank, which ends up being a huge waste of money.
When you refill a propane cylinder, you only pay for the fuel that goes into your tank. Heart of Texas Propane doesn’t do hidden fees either.
Refilling a cylinder saves you money on the price of the actual propane that is going into your tank as well. The difference can be up to $1.75 per gallon.
You typically get more propane in a tank with a refill than you do with an exchange. Exchanges tend to fill a 20-pound cylinder with less fuel.
While Heart of Texas Propane handles your portable propane tank once you bring it in, you need to ensure it gets to us safely. Here are some tips and safety protocols to follow:
The Heart of Texas refill locations are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and our location in Kerrville/Hunt-Ingram is also open on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. When you bring your propane cylinders to be refilled at Heart of Texas Propane, we’ll even inspect them to make sure they haven’t expired. Any expired tanks will be replaced.
Find your nearest Heart of Texas Propane location and bring your cylinder in for a quick and convenient refill.
When it comes to a propane tank, there are several factors that can impact how long it will last.
The first is the location of your tank. While propane tanks can be installed both aboveground and underground, aboveground tanks are usually able to last a little longer than ones that are underground.
Next, tanks that are made out of durable, strong and top-quality material are better protected from harsh weather conditions and the elements. This can help add additional years onto their lifespan.
Lastly, you have to take the climate where you live into account. Certain environmental conditions and extreme weather can cause a propane tank to corrode, which can lead to propane tank failure.
While we understand that you can’t necessarily control all the above elements (maybe you moved into a house that already had an underground propane tank in the yard), what you can control is how well you maintain and care for your propane tank and that is instrumental in your tank’s lifespan.
Maintenance is key when it comes to the longevity of a propane tank. Additionally, regular maintenance is the best way to ensure that your tank is working at peak performance levels and to catch small issues before they turn into large and costly problems.
Proper propane tank maintenance involves both a professional service provider as well as a little effort from a homeowner.
A professional can thoroughly inspect your propane tank and all of its components to make sure everything is functioning properly. A certified technician can also provide safety inspections and check for fuel leaks.
Here are some tips that will help homeowners keep their propane tanks in the best working condition:
Following the above protocols and having your tank looked at by a professional on an annual basis can help you get a solid 30 years out of your tank!
In addition to age, leaks and rust can indicate that the time has come for a tank replacement. A propane-powered appliance not working as well as it once did can also be a sign that you may be in need of an upgrade.
Homeowners in Kerrville, Spicewood, Llano, San Saba, Mason, Ingram, Goldthwaite, Hunt and nearby Texas communities can count on Heart of Texas Propane for safe and flexible propane tank services. We lease, sell, install, refurbish and repair propane tanks all throughout the area.
