Highly recommend Jackson at Glacier Plumbing. He took care of some plumbing work at my house and did a great job start to finish - showed up on time, knew exactly what he was doing, and the work was clean and solid. Straightforward about pricing, no surprises, and he didn't leave a mess behind. Easy to deal with and clearly takes pride in his work. If you need a plumber you can trust, Jackson's your guy.

We were looking to replace a bathtub in our master bath, but it seemed like it would be too expensive to do so. We got an amazing quote from Glacier and decided to go ahead with it. There was some confusion about the quote and it was considerably lower than it should have been, but Glacier honored it. It is rare to find a company that will stand by its word like that. I couldn't be more impressed. The technician who came out to do the demo was on time, respectful of our home, and he went out of his way to make sure all of our questions were answered - even questions we didn't know we had yet.

recently had Glacier Plumbing install a driveway heating system at my home and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Jackson and Ethan, the owners, were both fantastic to work with from start to finish. Ethan handled most of the installation himself, and his attention to detail and craftsmanship really stood out. The entire process was smooth, professional, and well-communicated. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure the job was done right. It’s clear they take pride in their work, and it shows in the final result. If you’re considering a driveway heater or any plumbing work, I highly recommend Glacier Plumbing. Jackson and Ethan truly deliver excellent service and quality work.

As the Landlord who wasn't with them every step of the way, Bret was astute and went beyond my expectations. Their reply wasn't as quickly received and communication was tricky (because of me), but they won my business. They were cooperative, available when I needed them, and good on the pricing. Yes, I would do business with them again. In this case, my only request would be completion pictures from Glacier.

I had called because we had no heat. Jackson responded and arranged to come out on a Sunday. He got the heat working temporarily. He and his business partner came again a few days later to install a new boiler. They did a fantastic job! They worked quickly and did a great job. Jackson even checked the temperature on our water heater. Jackson explained things well to us. I would recommend this company and use them again in the future.

Our water heater needed to be replaced and some pipes as well to go with it. Thankfully it was done the same day and we have him coming back to fix a few other things too! Very professional, efficient and honest, you can’t find many people like that anymore. Thanks !

Our boiler that was installed three years ago broke down and we came to find out that the company that produces those boilers went out of business unexpectedly. We reached out to the previous company that installed it for us and they tried to charge us $5000 more than the original install to replace it. We reached out to glacier and they provided us with a fair replacement of a reputable piece of US built equipment and we were back up and running in about 24 hours. If you’re looking for fair pricing, good quality and superior customer service don’t hesitate to give them a call. You can really tell that they care about the work they do and their customers. Thank You Jackson and Glacier!

100% recommend Glacier Plumbing and Hydronics - our older HTP boiler broke down. Unfortunately we called a general plumber first and didn’t realize how specialized the system was. A costly lesson. Found Glacier Plumbing and Ethan came in next day. So professional. Clean working, super knowledgeable. We decided to replace the boiler since the other was no longer viable. The new boiler was up and running quickly and now is better than before.

I have had a great experience with Glacier. My boiler would not light so I previously called one of the larger HVAC organizations that works in the valley and it cost me $350 for no solutions and lots of negative feelings. Their representative knew exactly what to look for and exactly how my boiler functioned. I was not asked to pay for the initial visit, but I plan to have my boiler replaced rather than just repair because it is very old. I will update my review after they have replaced the boiler.

We received prompt and professional service for full boiler replacement. After 3 bids, we decided on Glacier and a day and a half later we were back up and running with a new boiler. Jackson did a great job during the installation, and his communications were excellent. He then followed up a couple days later to be sure everything was running smoothly and took the time to teach us about our new system. I have no hesitation recommending this company.

Jackson at Glacier Plumbing did a fantastic job for us. Our driveway snow melting system had shutdown due to a leak in the boiler system. It’s hard to find someone that specializes in boilers and radiant heating systems. I lucked out when I called Glacier Plumbing and Hydronics. Not only did Jackson have an amazing understanding of the total system, but he was able to obtain the parts necessary and get the system up and working right away. I would highly recommend this company, especially for boiler works, but also for any other plumbing needs. Thomas Paddock

Choosing the Right Water Heater for Your Home

Water heaters are available in different capacities, fuel types, and efficiency levels. Selecting a unit based only on its physical size can result in insufficient hot water or unnecessary energy use.

We consider:

  • Number of people in the household
  • Number of bathrooms
  • Peak hot-water use
  • Existing fuel source
  • Available installation space
  • Current plumbing connections
  • Venting requirements
  • Energy-efficiency goals
  • Incoming water conditions
  • Future household needs

A larger tank is not automatically the best option. Select the system based on how and when your household uses hot water.

What Professional Installation Includes

A residential water heater must connect correctly to the home’s water supply, energy source, drainage, venting, and safety components. Requirements vary by equipment and installation location.

Our installation process may include:

  • Evaluating the current system
  • Confirming equipment compatibility
  • Disconnecting the old water heater
  • Preparing the installation area
  • Connecting hot and cold water lines
  • Installing compatible valves and fittings
  • Connecting required drainage components
  • Reviewing venting or energy-source requirements
  • Filling and testing the system
  • Checking accessible connections for leaks
  • Explaining basic operation

Any electrical modifications beyond the plumbing scope should be completed by a qualified electrician.

When to Install a New Water Heater

New installation may be appropriate when building a home, adding living space, changing the property’s hot-water needs, or replacing a system that no longer provides enough capacity.

Consider a new installation when:

  • The household frequently runs out of hot water
  • The current tank is undersized
  • An addition creates greater demand
  • A basement is being finished
  • New bathrooms or fixtures are being added
  • The existing system is badly corroded
  • The tank has developed a leak
  • Repairs are becoming frequent
  • The installation location is changing
  • You want a different water-heating system

If you already have a failing unit, our water heater replacement page provides more focused information about removing and replacing existing equipment.

North Salt Lake Water Heater Installation Considerations

North Salt Lake’s hard water can contribute to mineral accumulation inside conventional water heater tanks. These deposits may affect efficiency and equipment performance over time. Consider maintenance and water-treatment options when selecting and caring for the new system.

The local climate also increases hot-water demand during colder months. Incoming water temperatures can be lower in winter, requiring the system to work harder to reach the desired temperature.

Installation conditions vary across Foxboro, Eaglewood, Springhill, the Town Center area, and hillside neighborhoods. Finished basements, utility closets, mechanical rooms, and limited-access spaces can all influence equipment size and installation planning.

Permits, Venting, and Installation Requirements

Water heater installation must follow applicable plumbing, fuel-gas, venting, drainage, and safety requirements. Permit and inspection needs depend on the system and scope of work.

Gas water heaters require suitable venting, combustion air, fuel connections, and safety controls. Electric systems require compatible electrical capacity and connections. Tank systems may also need drainage, pressure-control, or expansion components based on the property.

Our team evaluates these requirements before installation. We identify any work outside our plumbing scope so the appropriate qualified professional can be involved.

Our Water Heater Installation Process

Home and System Assessment

We review your household’s hot-water use, existing equipment, available space, and plumbing connections.

Equipment Recommendation

Our plumber explains suitable capacity and system options based on the property’s needs.

Clear Installation Scope

We review the equipment, required connections, installation work, and pricing before proceeding.

Professional Installation

We position and connect the selected water heater according to its requirements and the approved scope.

Testing and Final Review

We fill and test the system, check for leaks, confirm hot-water production, and explain basic operation and maintenance.

Water Heater Installation Across North Salt Lake

Glacier Plumbing and Hydronics installs residential water heaters throughout North Salt Lake, including Foxboro, Eaglewood, Springhill, the Town Center area, and hillside neighborhoods.

Homes across these communities vary in size and plumbing configuration. A larger property with several bathrooms may need a different capacity than a smaller home. Finished basements and hillside layouts may also affect equipment access, drainage, and placement.

We base our recommendation on the individual home rather than assuming every North Salt Lake household needs the same system.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heater Installation in North Salt Lake

The cost depends on the equipment, capacity, fuel source, installation location, plumbing connections, venting, and required modifications. Replacing a similar unit is usually less involved than changing system types or moving the water heater. We evaluate the property before providing an estimate.

Many standard installations can be completed during one service appointment. The timeframe may increase when connections, venting, valves, drainage, or the installation area require modification. We explain the expected work and schedule after assessing the existing setup.

The correct capacity depends on household size, bathrooms, appliances, peak demand, and daily hot-water habits. Choosing a unit that is too small may cause shortages, while an oversized system may use more energy than necessary. We calculate the requirements before recommending equipment.

Permit and inspection requirements depend on the installation and any plumbing, gas, venting, or electrical changes involved. Our team reviews applicable project requirements and can explain what must be addressed before the installation proceeds.

Possibly. Moving the system may require new water lines, drainage, venting, gas piping, or electrical connections. We must also evaluate available space and service access. We inspect the proposed location and explain whether relocation is practical.
