Know your North Richland Hills house

Iron Horse Golf Course is a city-owned course. Spring hail is a leading cause of roof claims in the area.

The February 2021 winter storm burst pipes across Tarrant County. Older water heaters in post-war homes may sit on the floor of a garage, and current code often calls for raising gas units off the floor there. Smithfield was a separate farm community before North Richland Hills grew around it.

Many water heaters here sit in garages or attics, so check the drain pan and venting when you have it serviced. The city sits in northeast Tarrant County between Fort Worth and the airport cities.

Local rules

Natural gas in North Richland Hills comes from Atmos Energy. Gas water heaters need proper venting and a permit when replaced, which in North Richland Hills goes through the North Richland Hills Building Inspections division. In Texas, water heater work is plumbing work done by plumbers who hold a license from the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners.

Who runs what: the City of North Richland Hills Public Works water utility for water, the city's sewer system, with treatment by the Trinity River Authority and Fort Worth for wastewater and the North Richland Hills Building Inspections division for permits. North Texas clay soil swells when wet and shrinks in drought, which can move slab foundations. Home Town is a planned neighborhood built around a town center and NRH City Hall.

Questions from North Richland Hills residents

Can I relight my own pilot?

Many older gas heaters have relighting instructions on the label. If it will not stay lit, or you smell gas, stop and call for help.

What size water heater do I need?

It depends on household size and peak use. A pro can size it based on how many showers and appliances run at once.

Do you cover Thornbridge and Richland Oaks?

Pros we work with cover North Richland Hills neighborhoods such as Thornbridge, Fossil Creek, Diamond Oaks and Meadow Lakes, in ZIP codes 76180, 76182. Apartment and condo jobs count too, so give the unit number and any buzzer or parking details. If nobody's available, we'll tell you.

Is a leaking water heater an emergency?

A drip from a fitting can wait a little. Water from the tank itself means it's failing. Shut off the water supply and the power or gas, and call soon.

Is tankless worth it?

It saves space and avoids standby losses but costs more up front and may need gas line or venting changes. Get a quote for both options.
