What affects the price

The final price for a new water heater depends on a few moving parts. First, you have to choose the right fuel source—gas or electric—and decide if you want to stick with a standard tank or upgrade to a tankless model. We also look at the physical space where it sits and whether your current venting or gas lines meet modern safety codes. If we need to move the unit or upgrade plumbing to get it up to speed, that shifts the labor involved. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

This investment covers the hardware and the specialized labor needed to mount the unit and connect it to your home’s utilities. Because tankless units are sensitive to water quality and flow, the installation process includes testing and calibration to prevent future issues.

While you might not think about hot water as much in the summer, it is a great time to evaluate your system’s health. Because the incoming groundwater is warmer, your heater doesn't have to work as hard, making it a stress-free window to replace an aging unit before you hit the busy autumn season.

Frequently asked in Tempe

How long do hot water heaters typically last?

Most traditional tank water heaters are designed to last between 10 to 15 years. Tankless water heaters, which heat water on demand, often have a longer lifespan, sometimes reaching up to 20 years with proper care. Regular maintenance can help maximize their longevity.

What is the average cost of putting in a water heater?

What is the most efficient type of water heater?

Tankless water heaters are generally recognized as the most efficient option. They heat water only when you need it, which can lead to significant energy savings compared to traditional tank models that continuously heat and store water. The pros can help you decide if this is right for your home.

What are signs I need a new water heater?

You should consider a new water heater if you notice a decline in hot water supply, inconsistent water temperatures, unusual noises like rumbling or popping, or visible leaks around the unit.

What is the most common problem with a hot water heater?

A common problem is the lack of hot water, which can be due to a tripped breaker, a faulty thermostat, or sediment buildup. Strange noises, often described as popping or hissing, are also frequently reported and usually indicate sediment in the tank. These issues can typically be addressed by a professional.

Is it worth it to repair a hot water heater?

Repairing a water heater is often a cost-effective solution for smaller problems, especially if the unit is still relatively new. Issues like a malfunctioning thermostat or a minor leak can usually be fixed without a full replacement. However, if the tank is showing signs of rust or the unit is old, replacement might be more economical.
