What 16.5 Grains Does to a Chandler Water Heater
The City of Chandler's own water quality FAQ puts average hardness at 16.5 grains per gallon and classifies the water it treats as very hard, with a range running from 5 to 20 grains depending on where in the city you are. That is a four-fold spread inside one utility, so the average is a poor guide to any one address. Hard water leaves scale in the bottom of a tank, and scale is what takes years off a heater in this valley. The same city report puts pH between 7.2 and 8.2 and iron under 0.3 parts per million in any city well, so minerals, not corrosion from iron, are the thing working on your tank. A replacement in Chandler is permitted through City of Chandler Development Services at 215 E. Buffalo Street, and minor residential work can fall under the department's flat $100 miscellaneous fee.
A water heater is not a bill anybody budgets for. Financing runs from $41 a month for customers who qualify, and you approve the price before the old tank comes out.

Either way, it starts with our $59 diagnostic, and the same price-before-we-start approach applies here in Chandler.
