Anode Rod – Installed

Your anode rod is your water heater’s first line of defense against corrosion. It works by sacrificing itself — slowly dissolving over time so your tank doesn’t have to. Once it’s gone, the tank becomes the target.

In Scottsdale’s hard water environment, anode rods deplete faster than the national average — often within 2–3 years. Regular replacement is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to extend the life of your water heater.

If it’s been more than 2–3 years since your last replacement, or you’ve never had it checked, it’s worth taking care of now before the tank starts paying the price.

This service is for you if:

• Your water heater is more than 2 years old and the anode rod has never been replaced
• You want to protect your tank from premature corrosion
• You’ve noticed sulfur or rotten egg odors from your hot water
• You’re looking for a cost-effective way to extend your water heater’s lifespan

What’s included:

• Standard magnesium or aluminum anode rod
• Professional installation by a Water Heater Pete technician
• Removal and disposal of your existing rod
• Flat-fee pricing — the price you see is the price you pay

Pricing:

• Standalone installation: $210.00
• Added to a flush service: $99.00 (plus the cost of the flush)
