About these numbers
Search demand from Google Ads, Oct 2022 to Sep 2026, for 30 heating and plumbing terms. Each month uses the median of that calendar month across four years. "Mesa" is the location as Google Ads defines it; households are city limits. This measures searches, not breakdowns or claims. Full methodology.
