Installation, repair, and replacement for tank and tankless water heaters.
Water Heater Replacement & Repair in Utah
Whether your water heater is leaking, not heating, or ready to be replaced, we handle it all. We install and service both traditional tank and tankless water heaters from top brands.
Water Heater Replacement in Utah
We replace standard 40 – 50 gallon tank water heaters and install tankless gas units across Utah County and Salt Lake County. Every replacement includes removal of the old unit, the new tank, expansion tank, permit, and labor — handled in one visit.
A few things shape the scope of the job: bringing older installs up to current Utah code (seismic strapping, T&P discharge, expansion tank), tight closet or attic locations that complicate the swap, and whether you're sticking with tank or moving to tankless or gas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Water Heaters questions from Utah homeowners — answered straight.
How much does a water heater replacement cost in Utah?
Replacement cost depends on tank size, fuel type, whether you are staying with tank or moving to tankless, and whether the install needs to be brought up to current Utah code. We give you a flat-rate price before we start so there are no surprises on the invoice. Call us for a quote on your specific home.
Should I get a tankless or traditional water heater?
Tankless units cost more upfront but last 20+ years and cut standby energy loss significantly — a real advantage given Utah's hard water, which shortens tank heater lifespan. If your household uses a lot of hot water simultaneously (multiple showers, dishwasher), a tankless or hybrid system often pays for itself within several years.
How long does a water heater last?
Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years in Utah. Our water is very hard — around 15 to 25 grains per gallon in many parts of Utah County — which accelerates sediment buildup and anode rod wear. Annual flushing and anode rod checks can push that toward the higher end. Tankless units commonly reach 18 to 25 years with proper servicing.
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Utah?
Yes. Utah requires a mechanical permit for water heater replacements, and properties in the Wasatch Fault zone — which covers most of Utah County and Salt Lake County — require seismic strapping that meets state code. H&M Plumbing pulls the permit, handles the strapping, and schedules the inspection so you stay fully compliant.
Can you repair my water heater the same day?
In most cases, yes. We carry common repair parts on our trucks — heating elements, thermostats, anode rods, and pressure relief valves. Call us in the morning and we can usually have your hot water restored the same day. If the unit needs full replacement, we can often complete that the same visit as well.
