Phoenix Valley water heater specialists
The Water Heater Bros replace tank, tankless and heat pump water heaters for homeowners across the Phoenix Valley, including Phoenix, Mesa and Glendale. Tyler and Cam, the two owners, do every install themselves.
Replace your heater when the tank itself leaks, when it is past about 10 years and failing, or when repairs keep stacking up. If one part failed on a younger unit, fixing it usually makes more sense. We tell you which side your heater falls on before you spend anything.
Not every broken heater needs replacing. These signs point to one near the end of its life. If you see one or two, a free inspection tells you whether to repair or plan a new unit.
Tap a sign to see what it usually means.
A leak from the tank body means the steel has rusted through. It cannot be patched.
Rust in hot water only can mean a corroding tank. We check the anode rod first.
Hard water wears tanks out. Age alone is not a reason to replace, but it changes the math on repairs.
Thick sediment makes the burner or elements work harder. Past a point, flushing cannot clear it.
Sediment may be taking up tank space, or your household may have outgrown the heater's size.
When you fix a different part every few months, a new heater often costs less over time.

| Standard tank swap | 2–4 hoursLike-for-like gas or electric tank in the same spot. |
|---|---|
| Switching to tankless | Often longerDepends on venting, gas line size or new electrical work. |
| Switching to heat pump | VariesDepends on space, airflow and power at the heater location. |
We don't post prices because every replacement is different. You get a clear quote first. Our prices stay low because we bulk-order heaters from a small group of manufacturers and only buy the tools water heater work needs.
| Heater type | Tank, tankless or heat pump. Each has a different unit cost and install. |
|---|---|
| Tank size or flow rate | Gallons for a tank, gallons per minute for tankless. |
| Fuel change | Switching gas to electric, or the reverse, adds gas line or wiring work. |
| Venting and gas line | Tankless and some gas tanks need new venting or a larger gas line. |
| Location and access | An attic, tight closet or garage changes how long the job takes. |

Answer three quick questions about your water heater. You'll get an honest first read, the same way Tyler or Cam would start the conversation on the phone.
This is a quick guide, not a diagnosis. A free inspection or a call gives you a firm answer.
Send your heater's age, size and fuel type. We quote by phone or look at it in person for free.
If a repair makes more sense, we say so. If not, we compare tank, tankless and heat pump options for your home.
We match capacity to how many people shower, do laundry and run the dishwasher, not just the old label.
Tyler or Cam sets the new heater and checks venting, gas or power, water lines and the relief valve.
We show you the controls, explain the manufacturer warranty, and talk through removal of the old unit.

Every install comes with the manufacturer warranty, and we stand behind our workmanship.
Phoenix Valley water is hard. Minerals settle in tanks and wear them out faster, so many heaters here fail sooner than the label suggests. Summer adds strain, since many heaters sit in garages that bake all season.
Local conditions shape your next heater too. A heat pump unit pulls warmth from the air, and a hot garage gives it plenty to work with. Tankless saves space but needs descaling every year here. We help you pick what fits your Tempe or Peoria home.
It depends on age and what failed. A leaking tank, or a heater past about 10 years that keeps breaking, usually needs replacing. A bad element, thermostat or valve on a younger unit is often a simple repair. We tell you which, even when it is the cheaper fix.
Both can work well. Tankless gives endless hot water and saves space, but hard water means it needs descaling every year. A heat pump uses less energy and does well in warm Valley garages, but it needs room and airflow. A standard tank still makes sense for many homes and budgets.
Most homes here use a 40 to 80 gallon tank. Two people often do fine with 40 or 50 gallons. Larger families, big soaking tubs or back-to-back showers may call for more. For tankless, we size by how many taps and appliances run hot water at the same time.
Most standard tank replacements take 2–4 hours. Switching to tankless can take longer if the job needs new venting, a bigger gas line or added electrical work. Heat pump installs depend on the space and power at the spot. We tell you the expected time when we quote, so you can plan around it.
We'll talk through removal of the old unit when we quote the job, so you know what to expect before install day. Old tanks are heavy and often full of sediment, so we drain them before disconnecting anything. Ask about it when you call or text.
Yes. Every install comes with the manufacturer warranty, and we stand behind our workmanship. Coverage differs by brand and model, so we explain what your warranty covers before we install anything. That way you know what is protected before you choose a unit.
Usually, yes. A bigger tank needs the floor space, a spot that can hold the extra weight, and a gas line or circuit that can supply it. We check all three during the free inspection. Sometimes the real problem is sediment taking up room, and a flush fixes it without going bigger.
Some utilities offer rebates on efficient water heaters, such as heat pump models. Ask your utility (APS, SRP or Southwest Gas) about current rebates before you buy. We can help you compare efficient models while you decide which heater fits your home.
