Tired of Waiting for Hot Water?
Every morning, Tucson homeowners waste gallons of water while waiting for it to warm up. Not only does that waste water, but it also wastes energy — and your time. The solution is simple: a recirculating pump for your water heater.
At Trusted Water Heaters, we install efficient, quiet recirculating pump systems that bring instant hot water to every faucet in your home. You’ll save water, save money, and never stand in a cold shower again.
What Is a Recirculating Pump for a Water Heater?
A recirculating pump keeps hot water moving through your pipes, returning unused water back to the heater instead of letting it cool in the line. This means when you open a faucet, the hot water is already there — no waiting, no waste.
There are two common styles:
- Dedicated Return Line Systems: Designed for newer homes, these use a special line to return unused water to the heater.
- Comfort Systems (Retrofit Pumps): Perfect for older homes, these use existing plumbing lines and a small crossover valve under the sink.
Both options are energy efficient and work with standard or tankless heaters.
Top Benefits of Installing a Recirculating Pump
A recirculating pump for your water heater offers many long-term advantages for Tucson homes:
1. Instant Hot Water
No more wasting minutes waiting for the water to heat. Turn on any faucet — kitchen, bath, or laundry — and hot water flows immediately.
2. Water Conservation
An average household wastes over 12,000 gallons per year waiting for water to warm. With Arizona’s dry climate and high utility costs, every drop counts.
3. Energy Savings
Modern pumps come with built-in timers and temperature sensors, so they only run when needed. That means you save energy while enjoying convenience.
4. Extended Water Heater Lifespan
Consistent water flow reduces stress on your system, preventing sediment buildup and maintaining steady operation over time.
How Much Does It Cost to Install a Recirculating Pump?
For most Tucson homes, professional installation ranges between $450–$900, depending on your plumbing layout and heater type.
Trusted Water Heaters offers same-day installs with free quotes and our Hot Water Today Guarantee — if we can’t restore your hot water today, you don’t pay a dime.
We also include a Free 10-Year Warranty Upgrade for eligible systems, making it one of the best long-term home improvements you can make.
When Is the Right Time to Add a Recirculating Pump?
If your home was built before 2010 or has long plumbing runs, you’re a great candidate. You’ll notice:
- Long wait times for hot water in distant bathrooms
- High water bills despite low usage
- Inconsistent water temperature at certain taps
Adding a recirculating pump can fix all three problems immediately.
DIY or Professional Installation?
While some pumps are sold as DIY kits, correct installation requires proper pipe routing, electrical connections, and temperature calibration. A mistake could cause leaks or over-cycling.
Our Tucson-based team at Trusted Water Heaters handles it all — from product selection to testing — usually within just one visit.
