Financing for plumbing you didn’t plan for.
Water heaters, sewer lines, and repipes don’t wait for a good month. Hard Knox Plumbing offers financing so you can fix the problem properly now and spread the cost into predictable monthly payments.
Fast application, decision usually in minutes, and the same flat-rate price and full warranty whether you finance or pay upfront.
Straight talk
The wrong reason to choose the cheap repair.
When a water heater fails or a sewer line gives out, homeowners often end up choosing based on what they can pay this week rather than what will actually last. That’s how a house ends up with a patched line that fails again in eighteen months, or a bargain water heater sized wrong for the household.
Financing exists to take that pressure out of the decision. You get the right fix — correctly sized, properly permitted, fully warrantied — and the cost lands in manageable monthly payments instead of one hard hit.
To be clear about what doesn’t change: the price we quote is the same either way. We don’t mark up financed jobs, we don’t hold back a cash discount, and the warranty is identical. Ask your technician, or just mention it when you call.
No hot water right now? Call 865.765.8946. We can diagnose, quote, apply, and often replace the same day.
How It Works
Four steps, no ceremony.
We diagnose and quote
A licensed technician determines what’s actually wrong and gives you a firm, itemized flat-rate price. Nothing is financed until you know the number.
You apply
A short application through our lending partner, done on the spot. Most homeowners have a decision in minutes.
You review the terms
We go through the monthly payment and terms with you before anything is signed. If it doesn’t work for you, nothing proceeds.
We do the work
Same technicians, same materials, same warranty as any other job. The only difference is how the invoice gets paid.
Commonly Financed
The jobs worth spreading out.
Water heater replacement
Tank or tankless, including any code updates, venting, or gas line work the installation requires.
Water & sewer line replacement
Full service line replacement from the meter, or sewer lateral replacement — permitted, inspected, and warrantied.
Whole-home repiping
Replacing failing galvanized or polybutylene supply lines with PEX or copper throughout the house.
Water filtration & softening
Whole-home treatment systems sized to your water test results and your household’s usage.
Common Questions
Financing questions, answered.
How do I apply for plumbing financing?
Tell your technician you’d like to finance, or mention it when you call 865.765.8946. Applications are quick and handled through our lending partner — most homeowners get a decision in minutes, right at the kitchen table, before any work begins.
Does financing change the price of the job?
No. The quoted flat-rate price is the same whether you finance or pay outright, and the warranty is identical. Financing changes when you pay, not what you pay us.
What kinds of jobs can be financed?
Larger work: water heater replacement (tank or tankless), sewer and water line replacement, whole-home repiping, water filtration and softening systems, and new construction or remodel plumbing. Smaller repairs are typically not worth financing, and we’ll say so.
Do I need perfect credit?
No. Our lending partner works with a range of credit profiles, and applying is fast enough that finding out costs you almost nothing. If financing isn’t approved, we’ll talk through alternatives — including phasing the work so the most urgent part happens now.
Can I pay it off early?
Terms come from the lender, and options that allow early payoff without penalty are typically available. Ask before you sign — we’ll go through the specific terms with you rather than handing you a form.
Is there a cost to apply?
No. Applying is free and there’s no obligation to proceed with the work if you decide against it after seeing your terms.
What if my water heater died today and I can’t wait?
That’s the most common financing scenario we see. Call 865.765.8946, we come out, diagnose, quote a firm price, and you can apply on the spot — often with the replacement completed the same day.
