Replacing a submersible well pump in Parker County typically costs $1,800 to $4,500 in 2026, including the pump, motor, wire, fittings and labor. Depth drives the price: pumps set around 200 ft, the median near Weatherford, land at the low end, while 280–310 ft settings around Aledo and Granbury cost more.
Water Well Drilling Weatherford prices pump jobs across Parker County every week, and well pump replacement cost comes down to three things: how deep the pump sits, what comes out of the hole with it, and what the new pump needs to push. National averages miss the first one, because Parker County pumps sit deeper than the national typical.
Price by pump setting
| Pump setting | Typical 2026 replacement cost | Where you’ll see it |
|---|---|---|
| Around 180–200 ft | $1,800–$3,000 | Peaster, Poolville, Brock, Azle, Weatherford |
| Around 280 ft | $2,200–$4,500 | Aledo and east Parker County |
| Around 310 ft | $2,500–$5,000 | Granbury and Hood County |
| 400 ft and deeper | $4,000–$6,000+ | Deep Twin Mountains wells |
Settings come from Texas Water Development Board driller reports for new household wells since 2021: medians of about 200 ft near Weatherford, 180 ft around Peaster, Poolville and Brock, 280 ft around Aledo and 310 ft around Granbury. Cost ranges follow HomeGuide’s 2026 depth data (about $1,800–$3,000 at 200 ft and $4,000–$6,000 at 400 ft).
What’s in the price
- Pump and motor, sized by flow (gallons per minute) and total lift.
- Wire and splice. Longer runs need heavier wire, and the splice should be sealed with a heat-shrink kit.
- Fittings: torque arrestor, check valves, pitless adapter seal.
- Labor to pull and set. Deeper sets take longer and may need a pump hoist.
- Disinfection of the well after it’s opened.
What adds to the bill
- New drop pipe. Often worth it if the old pipe is corroded or the threads are worn.
- A control box or switch. Three-wire pumps need a matching control box, and an old pressure switch is cheap to replace while everything is apart.
- A bigger tank. If the old tank was undersized, the new pump will short-cycle unless the tank is fixed too. Pressure tank replacement typically runs $800–$1,800 installed.
- A constant-pressure drive, which adds cost up front for steadier pressure.
- After-hours work. Industry data puts after-hours premiums at about $150–$300.
What people report paying
Owners online report quotes like $3,700 to replace a pump at 175 ft, $3,800 at 300 ft, and around $6,000 for a 5-horsepower, 230-volt deep-well pump. Setting a pump at 500 ft or more can reach five figures. Those numbers fit the table above. The spread usually comes from pipe, wire and motor size, not from the pump itself.
Before you pay for a replacement
Make sure the pump is actually the problem. Pressure switches, control-box capacitors and wiring faults cost $150–$600 to fix and can look exactly like a dead pump. A good service call tests those from the surface first. See repair or replace a well pump and our well pump replacement service.
Bottom line
Budget $1,800–$3,000 for a typical 200-ft pump set near Weatherford and $2,500–$4,500 for deeper Aledo and Hood County settings. Get the price in writing before the pump is pulled, and make sure the quote says whether pipe and wire are being replaced.
