Plumbing, HVAC & Electrical Services in Nashville, TN

Metro Water Services supplies water to much of Nashville. It draws from the Cumberland River and treats it at two plants, K.R. Harrington and Omohundro, before it reaches your tap.

Your water bill shows which utility serves your address. That matters when a job needs the water shut off at the street or a new connection for an addition.

Nashville Electric Service (NES) distributes power across Nashville and Davidson County, and into parts of the surrounding counties. A panel upgrade, a meter base replacement or a new service for an addition means working with NES on the disconnect and reconnect, so their part gets planned along with ours.

For builders, NES publishes electric service guidelines covering how new services are laid out and connected.

In most of Nashville, permits come from the Metro Department of Codes and Building Safety. Metro requires separate permits and inspections for electrical, plumbing and gas or mechanical work, and those trade permits are generally issued to contractors licensed in that trade.

A few small cities inside Davidson County, such as Berry Hill, run their own permit offices. Your address decides which office handles the job.

Parts of Nashville sit under historic or conservation zoning overlays, among them Edgefield, Germantown, Lockeland Springs-East End and Belmont-Hillsboro. The Metro Historic Zoning Commission keeps design guidelines for each one, so check them before any work that changes the outside of the house.

Inside, an older house can hide galvanized pipe, cloth-covered wiring or ductwork added long after it was built. We'll show you what we find and explain the options before anything is opened up.
