See what’s included

Made-in-the-USA Bradford White 50-gallon gas (RG250T6N) or 50-gallon electric (RE250T6-1NCWW), the two heaters we keep in stock, installed by a Desert Water plumber. Haul-away, drain pan, new lines and valve are in the price. No hidden fees, no upsell, no BS.

We always check your water pressure and tell you what we find. High pressure shortens a heater’s life and changes what we can warranty, so if you need a pressure regulator we quote it on site. We stock them on every truck and warranty the work. If you need an expansion tank, we’ll tell you. We won’t force one on you, but you’ll know we offered it.

Why Bradford White

The tank we put in our own customers’ homes.

Made in the USA

Bradford White is an American company. Its water heaters are built in its own U.S. factories.

A better tank lining

The Vitraglas® lining protects the inside of the tank, and Microban® antimicrobial protection helps stop bacteria, mold and mildew from growing on it.

Less sediment, longer life

The Hydrojet® system cuts down sediment buildup in the tank, which helps it last longer and run more efficiently in our hard Arizona water.

Sold through plumbers

Bradford White is built for professional installation, not big-box shelves. It’s the brand plumbers trust to install and service.

Gas models: built-in safety

The Defender Safety System® with a flame arrestor design, plus the ICON System® gas control for accurate water temperature.

6-year tank & parts warranty

Plus our own 2-year Desert Water workmanship warranty on the install.

How it works

  1. Call or text. Tell us gas or electric and the size you have now. We’ll get you on the schedule.
  2. We swap it. Old heater out, new Bradford White in, usually in a few hours.
  3. We test it. Hot water, no leaks, and we show you the shut-off and drain.
  4. You pay $1,950. Or about $163/mo at 0% APR for 12 months, on approved credit.

Questions we get every day

Is $1,950 really the whole price?

Yes, for a standard swap in the same spot. Tax and card fees are included. If your home needs extra work, like moving the heater or changing the venting, we price it before we start.

Gas or electric?

Same $1,950 for either of the two 50-gallon heaters we stock: Bradford White gas (RG250T6N) or electric (RE250T6-1NCWW). Not sure what you have? Send us a photo of the label and we’ll tell you.

Why Bradford White?

It’s made in the USA, it has a Vitraglas® tank lining with Microban® protection and the Hydrojet® sediment system, it’s sold through plumbers instead of big-box stores, and it comes with a 6-year tank and parts warranty.

Do you have financing?

Yes. 0% APR for 12 months through Wisetack, on approved credit. About $163/mo on $1,950.

Thinking about tankless?

We install those too. Ask for a free fit check when you call.

How long does the price last?

Through October 31, 2026.

Kohler Highline two-piece elongated toilet

Toilet installs

From $265Kohler Highline supplied and installed: $685.Tap for details

Toilet installs start at $265, and the fancier the toilet, the more it costs. We’ve installed some for over $1,000. We’ll supply a Kohler Highline toilet with delivery, haul-away and everything else for $685. A Toto is $1,385. Or we can quote installing the toilet you already have. We warranty our work either way, and we only warranty the parts when we supply them.

Faucet swaps

$265 to $365Quoted by phone.Tap for details

$265 to $365 for most standard faucets, quoted by phone. Fancy or cut-out faucets get a written bid, because the work changes. A cluttered or dirty work area adds time, and we say so up front.

Delta R22000 shower valve and Moen 1222 cartridge

Shower and tub cartridges

$385 to $685Usually somewhere in the middle.Tap for details

Most standard shower and tub cartridges replaced by a professional run $385 to $685, usually somewhere in the middle. We quote on site because the valve, the brand and what’s behind the wall change the job. If the cartridge can’t be fixed, we can usually put in a new valve with standard trim for $785 to $1,250. Fancier trim is available, but it’s hard to quote online. We keep the common Delta, Moen and Pfister cartridges on our trucks and in our warehouse. Part of the price is being ready for the call and having the right parts on the truck when it matters most. We can special order just about anything fancy. If it isn’t one of those, expect a bid for the follow-up visit. Same-day isn’t realistic without a lot of driving around and extra cost, and that’s negotiable on site. We work on Delta 1300, 1400 and 1700 series valves, Moen 1222 and 1255 cartridges, Pfister Avante, Kohler and Symmons, including thermostatic and volume-control valves.
