Overview

Water Heater Installation & Repair in Santa Rosa & Sonoma County

No hot water is never a convenient problem, and it's rarely just the water heater's fault — venting, gas supply, and pressure all play a part. We diagnose the real cause first, so you're not paying to replace a unit that just needed a new thermocouple or element.

When replacement is the right call, we help you weigh a standard tank against a tankless unit based on your household's hot water demand, then handle the full installation to code — including permits, venting, and the expansion tank or gas line work many DIY or handyman installs skip.

What's Included

  • Tank water heater installation — 40 & 50-gallon gas and electric units, sized to your household.
  • Tankless water heater installs — Endless hot water with a smaller footprint — ideal for remodels and additions.
  • No hot water / inconsistent temperature repair — Thermocouples, heating elements, gas valves, and thermostats.
  • Leaking tank replacement — Fast turnaround to stop water damage from a failing tank.
  • Code-compliant venting & gas line work — Permitted installs that pass inspection the first time.
  • Recirculation pump installation — Get hot water to distant fixtures faster and cut standby wait.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a water heater installation take?
A straightforward like-for-like tank replacement is often completed same-day. A conversion to tankless, or an install that requires new venting or gas line work, may take longer — we'll give you a clear time estimate before starting.
Is a tankless water heater worth it for my home?
It depends on hot water usage, household size, and available gas/electric capacity. Tankless units deliver continuous hot water and can save on standby energy loss, but the upfront cost is higher. We'll walk through the trade-offs for your specific home.
My water heater is leaking — is that an emergency?
Yes. A leaking tank can fail completely with little warning and cause significant water damage. Shut off the water and power/gas to the unit if you can safely do so, and call us — we prioritize active leaks.
Do you pull permits for water heater replacements?
Yes. Most jurisdictions require a permit for water heater replacement, and we handle that as part of the installation so the work is documented and inspected.
