Water Heater Replacement & Installation (Tank, Tankless, Heat Pump)

Sometimes replacing saves money over another repair especially for older tanks.

• Typical lifespan: storage tank water heaters last ~10–15 years; tankless models often last 20+ years.
• Right-sized systems: we size your new water heater using the First Hour Rating (for tanks) or required temperature rise (for tankless) so you don’t run out of hot water.

We handle everything: safe removal of the old unit, professional installation, manufacturer-compliant venting, gas/electrical, and startup.

Hard Water in Salt Lake City: Why Maintenance Matters

Salt Lake City blends pristine mountain water with well water in summer months. The city notes well water is harder (more minerals), which speeds sediment buildup in water heaters. That’s why local systems need regular flushing.

Simple tips to protect your water heater:

• Flush the tank yearly to remove sediment and keep efficiency high.
• Set temperature to 120°F to save energy and reduce scald risk (and it slows mineral buildup).

Permits, Codes & Safety We Handle It

In the Salt Lake Valley, many municipalities require permits and inspections for water heater replacement. Salt Lake City’s Building Services provides permit guidance, and nearby North Salt Lake specifically lists water heater replacements as permit-required. We pull the right permits and schedule inspections for you.

Live at altitude? Salt Lake City sits around 4,300 ft. Some gas water heaters require manufacturer-specific adjustments above certain elevations we install to spec.

FAQs

How do I know if I need to replace my water heater?
If your tank is 10–15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or shows rust or leaks, replacement is usually the smart move. Tankless models last 20+ years. We’ll inspect and give you straight answers.

What temperature should I set?
Most homes are safe and comfortable at 120°F; it saves energy and reduces scald risk.

Do you pull permits?
Yes. We handle permit paperwork and city inspection so your installation is compliant and safe.

Do you work on tankless water heaters?
Absolutely repair, descaling, and new installs. We’ll size the unit for your home’s temperature rise and flow so you have hot water on demand.

How much energy does water heating use?
Water heating is often the second-largest home energy load about 18% on average—so an efficient system and good maintenance pay off.
