What size water heater should you install?
Match the tank to the household: 40 gallons for 2–3 people, 50 for 3–5, 75 for large households or soaker tubs. First-hour rating, how much hot water the unit delivers in its first hour, matters more than raw capacity for morning rushes. Want endless hot water in a smaller footprint? Compare a tankless installation.
Gas or electric: which install makes sense here?
Gas units heat faster and cost less to run where gas service exists, the common Utah County setup, while electric units cost less up front and fit homes without a flue. Switching fuel types adds venting or circuit work to the quote. Either way, code requires a permit, seismic strapping, a drain pan in finished spaces, and a thermal expansion tank on closed systems; our installs include all four.
What does installation day look like?
A standard replacement runs 2–4 hours: drain and disconnect the old unit, set and strap the new tank, connect water, fuel, and venting, then fill, purge, and test. The old heater leaves with us. One Utah County-specific recommendation from our crews: start the new tank on softened water, scale is what killed the last one. See the water heater hub or repair page if you are not sure replacement is needed yet.
