We recommend having your water heater inspected at least once a year. Regular maintenance by Dinosaur Plumbing can extend your unit’s life, improve efficiency, and help you avoid costly emergency repairs.

Most tank water heaters last 8–12 years. In the Tucson and Oro Valley area, our hard water can cause mineral buildup that shortens that lifespan — which is why annual flushing is especially important here.

That sound is usually sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. As water heats up, it bubbles through the sediment and creates that noise. It’s a sign your tank needs to be flushed — give Dinosaur Plumbing a call before it turns into a bigger problem.

A traditional tank heater stores and keeps a set amount of water hot at all times. A tankless (on-demand) heater only heats water when you need it, which can reduce energy costs by up to 30%. We install and service both — happy to walk you through which is right for your home.
