Why Queen Creek water heaters wear out early
Water in the East Valley is hard. Minerals settle in the bottom of the tank, the heater works harder, and parts wear out sooner. Pairing a new heater with a yearly flush, or a water softener, helps it last. Our hard water guide explains more.
Tank or tankless?
A tank heater costs less to put in and works for most families. A tankless unit takes less space and never runs out of hot water, but it needs the right gas line and venting. See tankless water heaters to compare.

Water heater replacement questions
How long does a water heater replacement take?
Most swaps of the same type take a few hours. Moving it or switching from gas to electric (or the other way) takes longer.
What size water heater do I need?
Most Queen Creek homes with 3 or 4 bedrooms use a 50-gallon tank. Big families or big tubs may want 75 gallons or a tankless unit. The plumber will help you choose.
Will I know the price first?
Before any work starts, the plumber explains what's wrong and gives you the price. Nothing happens until you say yes.
