If you need a new water heater in or elsewhere in the Salt Lake City, UT area, the first step is to determine how much hot water your family needs and what type of water heater is best for those needs: a tank or tankless water heater. Tank water heaters are traditionally used in most homes to preheat and hold water in a tank for future use. They are less expensive but they cost more to operate because they keep water heated at a steady temperature even when you don’t need hot water.

Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, are unique in that they only heat water when you need it. Small devices are installed before your fixture and use electrical elements to heat water when you turn on a hot water tap. Installation is more expensive, but they cost significantly less to operate over time.

Once you select a system that is right for your home, we can install the system for you quickly and ensure it works properly so you have reliable hot water for years to come.

Water heaters are designed to work continuously for up to 10 years at a time, but that doesn’t mean they won’t ever need repairs. If something happens and your water heater in Salt Lake City, Provo, Tooele, and Park City and the surrounding area stops heating water properly or worse, if it starts leaking, call us immediately for service.

We are on call 24/7 for emergency services and can get your water heater back up and running fast. If you need a new system installed to replace your existing system we can do this as well.

The best way to ensure your water heater lasts as long as it is rated is to have it maintained on an annual basis. An annual inspection of your water heater ensures it is clean, there are no leaks, and that the connections are tight. Your contractor will clean any gas burners, check electrical elements and test the thermostat to make sure everything is working as intended.

If anything does go wrong with your water heater, and you end up needing water heater repair services, these annual inspections will likely catch any issues early, ensuring they can be resolved before they become more severe.
