Average Cost of Replacing a Well Pump and Pressure Tank

A well pump replacement cost varies depending on several factors, including the type of pump, well depth, and labor involved. For a submersible well pump, the average replacement cost ranges from $2,900 to $4,500, which includes the price of the pump itself and labor.

Jet pumps are generally less expensive, with replacement costs falling between $1,500 and $2,900. However, the exact price will depend on the complexity of the installation and any additional repairs that may be needed.

In addition to replacing the well pump, your well water pressure tank may also need to be replaced or repaired. The average cost for replacing a pressure tank ranges from $2,000 to $3,500, depending on the tank’s size and type. If your system requires a new pressure switch, you can expect to pay around $275 to $375 for the replacement, though costs can increase if electrical work is involved.

Servicing Submersible Pumps and Jet Pumps

Golden Rule Plumbing offers comprehensive well pump services and jet pump services to meet all of your well water needs. Our services are designed to keep your water flowing smoothly and your system running efficiently, with minimal disruption to your home. Here’s what we offer:

Submersible Well Pump Services: The submersible well pump is the heart of your well water system, submerged deep in your well to push water up to your home. Over time, these pumps can wear out due to corrosion, clogs, or electrical issues. Whether your pump has completely stopped working or is losing efficiency, we can diagnose the problem and either repair or replace the pump, ensuring you have a continuous water supply.

Jet Pumps: Jet pumps are typically used in shallow wells where water levels are within 25 feet of the surface. These pumps work by creating suction that pulls water from the well and delivers it to your home. If your jet pump is losing prime, or you’re noticing low water pressure, we can assess the problem and provide a solution, whether that’s a quick repair or a full replacement. Our technicians have extensive experience with all types of jet pumps and can recommend the best course of action based on your system’s needs.

Pressure Related Services

Pressure Switch Services: The pressure switch for your well pump controls when the pump turns on and off based on water pressure levels. A malfunctioning pressure switch can lead to irregular water pressure, or worse, your pump running continuously. This not only wastes energy but also risks burning out your pump. Our team can quickly diagnose and replace faulty pressure switches to restore normal function and prevent future problems.

Pressure Tank Services: Your well water pressure tank plays a critical role in maintaining consistent water pressure throughout your home. If your tank is leaking, or if you notice your water pressure fluctuating, it may be time for a repair or replacement. A failing pressure tank can also cause your well pump to run constantly, leading to higher energy bills and unnecessary wear and tear on the pump. We offer professional pressure tank repair and replacement services to restore steady water pressure and extend the life of your pump.

Top 4 Most Common Pressure Issues on Well Water Systems

1. Pressure Switch Malfunction

The pressure switch controls the pump’s operation. If it’s faulty or misadjusted, it may need to be recalibrated or replaced.

2. Clogged Filters or Pipes

Sediment buildup can restrict water flow. Cleaning or replacing filters and clearing blockages can restore proper pressure.

3. Air in the System

Air leaks in the pipes or pressure tank can cause pressure fluctuations. Bleeding the system or fixing leaks can sometimes resolve this issue. If the issue persists it may be an indication of a compromised section of the main water line.

4. Worn or Damaged Pump

Over time, well pumps can wear out, leading to reduced efficiency. Replacing or repairing the pump may be necessary. Call today or an estimated cost!

FAQ

What are common signs of a failing well pump?

If your well pump is failing, you might notice low water pressure, strange noises, air sputtering from faucets, or higher electricity bills. These signs indicate your well pump may need a repair or a replacement.

How often should I check my pressure tank?

Regularly inspecting your pressure tank every 6 months helps maintain optimal water pressure. Look for unusual sounds, fluctuating pressure, or visible rust—these can indicate issues that require professional attention.

Why is my well pump running continuously?

A well pump running nonstop may signal a water leak, a malfunctioning pressure switch, or a failing pump. Continuous operation not only wastes energy but can also lead to pump burnout.

Low water pressure can be caused by clogged filters, a faulty pressure switch, or an underperforming pump. Routine maintenance, including cleaning filters and checking the pressure tank, can help. If issues persist, consult a professional.

Well pumps typically last 8-15 years, while pressure tanks can last around 10-15 years with proper maintenance. Regular checks and timely repairs can extend their lifespan and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

What maintenance does a well pressure tank need?

Pressure tank maintenance involves checking air pressure regularly, inspecting for leaks or corrosion, and ensuring that the pressure switch is functioning properly. Regular servicing can keep your system running smoothly and prevent costly repairs.

"Golden Rule employees never cease to amaze me. I had 2 new men come today to install a powder room vanity. Very tight space but they did an excellent job, very polite and went the extra mile by installing by new baseboard which I couldn’t do at my age. They cleaned up so well my wife just sat down and relaxed after the 2 men left"

"I called Golden Rule, left a message, and wouldn't you know... they called me back!! I contacted a couple of plumbers only to leave messages and never hear back. I can't tell you how important it is to call back a prospective customer bc it could result in being a customer for life if you provide excellent service. I had a simple plumbing maintenance request, and Dom did a great job explaining what was involved and the frequency required moving forward. He was very courteous, respectful of my property, and left the job with everything looking exactly as it was before he arrived. They now have me as a customer moving forward and I highly recommend them. Thanks Golden Rule Team!"

"Kyle and Mark were great to deal with. Kyle was super upfront about costs and the scheduling process was really simple. Mark did a fabulous job on the install - new sink, new garbage disposal and new faucet as well as rebuilding the under part of the cabinet. We couldn’t be happier with the result! Great attitudes and reasonable prices. Will definitely be using them again in the future!

"Had an issue with hot water heater, so reached out to our go-to for all plumbing needs…Golden Rule (GR). From our initial call to GR on a Sunday afternoon, with an immediate response from Tim; to our service advisor, Mark, who showed up promptly on Monday morning. They could not have been more friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. This is ALWAYS our experience with GR and their crew. Hot water heater and parts were under warranty, which were replaced in short order, and we were up and running like new. Thanks again for all your assistance!"
