THINKING ABOUT REPLACING YOUR WATER HEATER?
There's one number that settles it.
Multiply the cost of quoted repairs by the age of your water heater. If that total is...
Under $5K
REPAIR IT
Over $5K
REPLACE IT
While that calculation is a good estimate, this list can help identify if you're in need of a new tanked water heater.
Keep repairing if...
- Only a single part has failed
- Parts are available and the unit is supported
- The repair cost * age of your system is below $5K
- It's under 8 -10 years old and in good shape
- It still provides consistent hot water when running
Time to replace if...
- The system is 10 years old, or older
- Multiple repairs in the last 1 to 2 years
- You notice rusty or smelly water
- Water temperatures are inconsistent or gets cold fast
- There is loud noise such as rumbing or popping
Still on the fence?
Our Water Heater Replacement Options
SameDay Heating & Air, Plumbing and Electrical is able to replace your water heater with another tank solution or tankless.
Replacing a Tanked Water Heater
Replacing an existing tank water heater with a new tanked unit is typically a more straightforward upgrade, especially when keeping the same fuel type, whether gas or electric. Homeowners can also opt for standard or high-efficiency models, depending on their energy goals and budget. While the installation process is usually simpler than converting to tankless, it may still involve minor updates to connections, venting (for gas units), or electrical components to ensure the new system operates safely and efficiently. SameDay has electricians on the team to help get the job done.
Converting a Tanked Water Heater to Tankless
Converting from a tank water heater to a tankless system usually involves more than a simple swap, often requiring gas line, electrical, or venting upgrades to meet the new unit’s demands. In Salt Lake City, colder water temperatures and higher elevation can impact system sizing, so proper planning is key for consistent performance. While the upfront work can be more involved, a well-installed tankless system offers improved efficiency, space savings, and reliable on-demand hot water. Our team will analyze and let you know the project details depending on your current home water heater setup, and our team can handle the job start to finish.

Warning Signs You Need to Replace Your Tanked Water Heater
Keep an eye out for these signs that your garbage disposal may need repair or replacement.

If your water temperature keeps fluctuating or runs out quickly, the system may be wearing out.
Unusual Noises
Loud popping or rumbling sounds often indicate heavy sediment buildup inside the tank.
Visible Rust or Corrosion
Rust on the tank or in your hot water can signal internal deterioration.
Frequent Repairs Needed
If you’re calling for repairs often, replacement may be more cost-effective.
Water Leaks Around the Unit
Moisture or pooling water near the tank can point to cracks or internal failure.
Unit Is 10+ Years Old
If your gas or electric tank water heater is over a decade old, it may be nearing the end of its lifespan. It may be time for a new one!

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions our technicians and customer service team hear about replacing a gas or electric tank water heater.
How long does it take to replace a tank water heater?
Most standard replacements can be completed in 2–4 hours, depending on the setup and any minor upgrades needed.
Do I need to upgrade my plumbing or connections when I get my tank water heater replaced?
In many cases, existing connections can be reused, but older systems may need minor updates to meet current codes.
What size water heater should I install?
The right-sized tank water heater depends on how much hot water your household uses. Our technicians can make an assessment and run calculations to help determine the best-sized water heater for your circumstances.
Should I choose a standard or high-efficiency model?
High-efficiency units cost more upfront but can reduce energy bills over time, making them a popular upgrade choice.
What is cheaper, a tanked water heater or tankless?
Generally, upfront costs for a tanked water heater are cheaper than tankless. Installations are simpler, while converting to a tankless unit may require changes to your gas lines or other infrastructure. Over time, tankless units have better efficiency and generally last longer as a system, leading to lower utility bills and less frequent replacement needs (often by years!).
Do you offer financing for water heater replacements?
Absolutely! We recognize a water heater replacement is an investment in your home and we offer different financing depending on qualifications. We offer financing for gas tank water heaters, electric tank water heaters, high-efficiency tank water heaters, and tankless replacements.
