Buckeye’s desert climate is tough on water heaters. Temperature swings, mineral buildup, and constant use mean your system works harder here than in most places. We understand these local challenges because we’ve been fixing them for years.
When you call Murray Plumbing, you’re getting technicians who know Buckeye homes, Buckeye water, and what it takes to keep your hot water running reliably in this climate.
Here’s exactly what happens when you call us for water heater replacement. First, we’ll assess your current system and your home’s hot water needs. We’ll explain your options—tank vs. tankless, gas vs. electric—and give you a clear, upfront price that includes everything.
Once you approve the work, we handle permits, disposal of your old unit, and professional installation that meets all local codes. We test everything thoroughly before we leave, making sure your new system is working perfectly.
Most replacements take 4-6 hours from start to finish. We clean up completely, walk you through your new system’s operation, and make sure you’re 100% satisfied before we consider the job done.

Every water heater replacement includes professional installation, proper permits, code compliance, and removal of your old unit. We work with all major brands and can handle tank, tankless, gas, and electric systems.
In Buckeye’s climate, we often recommend tankless systems for their efficiency and reliability. They handle temperature fluctuations better and won’t leave you without hot water when you need it most. But we’ll recommend what’s actually best for your home and budget, not what makes us the most money.
We stock common sizes and types, which means same-day installation is possible for most jobs. Emergency replacements get priority scheduling because we know you can’t wait days for hot water in Arizona heat.
Water heater replacement in Buckeye typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500, depending on the type of unit and complexity of installation. Tank-style units are generally less expensive upfront, while tankless systems cost more initially but offer long-term energy savings.
The final cost depends on your home’s setup, the type of water heater you choose, and any necessary code upgrades. We provide upfront, transparent pricing that includes all labor, permits, and disposal fees—no hidden surprises after we start the work.
If your water heater is over 8-10 years old and having problems, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. Older units often have multiple issues waiting to happen, and repair costs can quickly add up to more than a new unit.
For newer units under 7 years old, repair is typically the better choice unless there’s major damage like a cracked tank. We’ll assess your specific situation honestly—if a repair will get you several more years of reliable service, we’ll tell you. If replacement makes more financial sense, we’ll explain why.
Most water heater replacements take 4-6 hours from start to finish, including removal of the old unit, installation of the new system, and final testing. Straightforward tank-to-tank replacements are on the shorter end, while tankless installations or units requiring new gas lines take longer.
We handle all permits and inspections as part of the service, so you don’t need to worry about dealing with the city. Emergency replacements get priority scheduling, and we often complete same-day installations when you can’t wait for hot water.
Tankless water heaters often perform better in Buckeye’s climate because they’re not constantly heating and reheating water in Arizona’s heat. They provide unlimited hot water on demand and typically last longer than traditional tank units.
However, tankless systems cost more upfront and may require electrical or gas line upgrades. Tank units are less expensive initially and simpler to install. The best choice depends on your family’s hot water usage, budget, and home setup. We’ll recommend what actually makes sense for your situation, not just the most expensive option.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency water heater replacement throughout Buckeye. When your water heater fails completely, we understand you can’t wait days for service—especially in Arizona where hot water isn’t just comfort, it’s necessity.
Emergency calls get priority scheduling, and we stock common replacement units for same-day installation when possible. We charge fair emergency rates without gouging you when you’re in a tough spot. Our goal is getting your hot water restored quickly and professionally, not taking advantage of your emergency.
We install all major water heater brands including Rheem, Bradford White, AO Smith, Navien, and others. We’ll recommend brands based on reliability, warranty coverage, and what performs best in Buckeye’s climate conditions.
Rather than pushing one particular brand, we focus on matching the right system to your needs and budget. Some brands excel at tankless technology, others offer better warranties on tank units. We’ll explain the real differences and help you choose based on what matters most for your home and family.
