Choosing the Right Water Heater for Your Home
The right water heater depends on the size of your home and your water use habits. Our team at Day & Night will help you find the perfect water heater for your home.
We install a variety of systems designed for performance, efficiency, and long-term value, including:
Gas Water Heaters
Gas water heaters use a burner fueled by natural gas to heat your water. These units heat water more quickly than electric models, and they can still heat water during a power outage.
A gas water heater is a great option for households that use a lot of hot water and are looking for a faster tank refill. Our plumbers will help you select a properly sized unit and ensure safe, code-compliant installation.
Electric Water Heaters
Electric water heaters use heating elements powered by electricity to heat water instead of gas burners. They’re a great option for homes that don’t have a gas line, and they often have lower upfront installation costs.
If you want a straightforward, efficient system that delivers steady hot water, an electric model may be the right choice. Our team will help you find the right electric water heater for your home.
Tankless Water Heaters
While traditional water heaters store hot water in a tank, tankless water heaters only heat the water as needed. This creates an endless hot water supply with reduced energy consumption, featuring a compact design that fits seamlessly into any space.
Our team specializes in both traditional and tankless water heater installation services in Phoenix. Regardless of the style of water heater you need, we’re ready to help.
When to Replace Your Water Heater
Putting off a water heater replacement in Phoenix might seem like a way to save money, but an aging or failing unit can lead to bigger issues down the road. This can include leaks and water damage, as well as inconsistent water temperature.
Knowing when to act can help you avoid extensive water heater repairs and ensure your system continues to operate safely and efficiently. Here are some clear signs it’s time to consider a professional water heater replacement in Phoenix:
If your showers keep going cold or you’re constantly running out of hot water, your system may be struggling to maintain proper heating levels. This often indicates a worn-out heating element, sediment buildup, or a failing thermostat.
Corrosion and small leaks are major red flags. Once a tank starts to rust, repairs are rarely effective. A full replacement is often the only way to prevent flooding or structural damage.
Popping, rumbling, or banging sounds usually mean sediment has built up at the bottom of the tank. As the sediment hardens, it reduces the unit’s energy efficiency and increases wear and tear.
Most traditional water heaters last about 8–12 years. If yours is older, it’s wise to plan ahead for a replacement before it unexpectedly fails. Even if it’s still running, an older system likely consumes more energy than newer, high-efficiency models.
When your water heater works harder to maintain a proper temperature, you’ll notice it on your energy bill. Replacing an inefficient or outdated model can improve energy efficiency and lower monthly costs.
If you notice brown or rusty water coming from your faucets, it may indicate corrosion inside your water heater tank. This can contaminate your water and damage plumbing fixtures over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a new water heater installation service?
The cost to install a new water heater varies based on the size, type, and efficiency rating of the unit you choose. Traditional tank models generally cost less upfront, while tankless water heaters have a higher initial investment with long-term energy savings.
For an accurate estimate, book an appointment with our team for a customized quote based on your home’s needs.
What size tankless water heater do I need?
The right water heater tank size depends on how much hot water your home needs and the number of fixtures you use at the same time. A small home or condo may only need one unit, while larger families often benefit from a higher-capacity or multiple-unit setup.
Our experts will assess your home’s usage and recommend the ideal tankless water heater system to keep your hot water flowing consistently.
Is a tankless water heater worth it?
For many Phoenix homeowners, tankless systems are a smart investment. They provide endless hot water, reduce standby energy loss, and last longer than traditional tank models. While installation costs are typically higher, the energy efficiency and convenience often pay off over time.
Is a gas or electric water heater better?
Both systems have benefits depending on your home setup. Gas water heaters generally heat water faster and can continue working during power outages. In comparison, electric water heaters offer an easier installation, quiet operation, and low maintenance.
During your consultation, our team will review both options and help you choose the best fit for your needs.
How do I know if my water heater is gas or electric?
You can check your water heater’s energy source by looking for a gas line and burner assembly at the bottom of the unit or two electrical heating elements connected by heavy wiring. If you’re unsure, our licensed plumbers can inspect your system and confirm which type you have during your appointment.
