Enter your water heater's type, approximate age, and symptom for a realistic evaluation before committing to repairs.
At 7-9 years, inexpensive repairs (like a heating element, thermocouple, or pressure relief valve) can be worthwhile, while an expensive control board or gas valve may be better put toward a new system.
Gas vs. Electric Water Heaters
Compare both tank types honestly so you can choose what fits your home, your fuel hookup, and your household's hot water usage.
Advantages of Gas Water Heaters
- •Faster recovery rate, so the tank refills with hot water more quickly after heavy use.
- •Generally lower ongoing fuel cost in Northern Utah when natural gas is already piped to the home.
- •Handles back-to-back showers and larger households without waiting as long for reheat.
- •Keeps working through a power outage in many homes because the pilot and gas supply stay on.
Things to Consider
- •Requires a proper gas supply line and correct venting to carry exhaust safely outside.
- •Pilot assemblies, thermocouples, and gas valves need periodic attention to stay reliable.
- •Sediment from Northern Utah hard water settles at the burner and should be flushed regularly.
- •Not an option in homes that do not already have natural gas or propane available.

Real Reviews from Northern Utah Homeowners
Real feedback from real Northern Utah homeowners who got their hot water back.
“If you have to spend $$ on a hot water heater, this was a great experience. I was impressed with the quick response time. Called, text pics, and received quote for my water heater within 30 mins. They were also quick to get me in same day. No cold showers were required. I couldn't have been happier with the service. Thank you to both Forrest and Adam.”
“By sending photos and giving Frosty the error code of the water heater, I was told what the problem was and was given a quote to fix it before a visit was scheduled. Frosty came when scheduled fixed the water heater and charged exactly what was quoted. A day after I paid for the service, Frosty texted me information about future regulations to be imposed for water heaters. He freely spent additional time and sent me the info. His service is not common. It is exceptional.”
“I had the best experience with Frosty's Elite water Service. Our technician was Justin and he was able to drain our old water heater and replace it In less than two hours. My hot water heater went out on Friday and they were able to get me a new water heater on Saturday. I was extremely relieved because I was having family come to stay and I needed to have water. I will be recommending Frosty's to anyone that has hot water heater needs!”
Anatomy of a Tank Water Heater
Understanding the 4 critical components inside your tank helps explain why water heaters fail and where leaks occur.
Dip Tube
Directs cold incoming municipal water all the way to the bottom of the cylinder so it heats first. When a dip tube cracks, cold water mixes directly with outgoing hot water at the top, causing showers to turn cold in minutes.
Sacrificial Anode Rod
A magnesium or aluminum rod that sacrifices itself through galvanic action, attracting corrosive ions before they eat through the steel tank walls. Once this rod fully dissolves, tank failure is imminent.
Corro-Protec Powered Anode Rod
A powered anode rod that helps protect your tank from corrosion. $550, warrantied 20 years on parts and installation.
Ask About ItHeating Element or Gas Burner
Electric tanks use upper and lower submerged resistive elements controlled by thermostats. Gas tanks utilize a pilot, thermocouple, and bottom burner chamber.
T&P Relief Valve
Temperature and Pressure relief valve opens automatically if internal pressure exceeds 150 PSI or temperature exceeds 210°F, preventing over-pressurization.
