Plumbing, HVAC & Electrical Services in Thompson's Station, TN

Water in Thompson's Station comes from H.B. & T.S. Utility District, a public utility district rather than a town department. The district says its water comes from the Cumberland River and is pumped as far as 50 miles to reach some of its customers. Questions about the meter, the bill or pressure at the street go to the district. The pipes on the house side of the meter are plumbing we can check and repair.

The Town of Thompson's Station runs its own wastewater system, but it serves particular subdivisions rather than every address. The town lists Tollgate Village, Bridgemore Village, Fields of Canterbury, Avenue Downs, Allenwood and Whistle Stop among them. Some homes in and around town, including many that have been here for years, use septic tanks instead. Town sewer customers get a wastewater bill from the town, separate from the water bill.

The town lists Middle Tennessee Electric for electric service and Atmos Energy for natural gas. When a job changes the meter or the service coming into the house, such as a panel upgrade or a new standby generator, the electric utility is part of the plan, because the meter belongs to the utility. Gas isn't available at every address, so we'll confirm what your home has before suggesting a gas water heater or furnace.

Inside town limits, permits and inspections go through the Town of Thompson's Station Building and Codes department. It takes permit applications and inspection requests through an online portal, and it enforces the town's adopted codes, which include the International Residential, Plumbing and Mechanical codes. If your address is outside the town limits, a different office may handle the permit, and we'll tell you which one applies.

Thompson's Station incorporated in 1990. In 1997 it annexed the land that later became Tollgate Village, Fields of Canterbury, Bridgemore Village and Pecan Hills, and a regional wastewater plant was built in the mid-2000s to serve those neighborhoods. The 2020 Census counted 7,485 residents. Homes in those subdivisions are young by Middle Tennessee standards, and young homes wear in their own ways: original water heaters, faucets and HVAC equipment reach the end of their first run at about the same time.
