Complete Water Heater Installation Service

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Your water heater installation includes removal and disposal of the old unit, professional installation of the new system, and all necessary connections. We handle gas line work, electrical connections, and plumbing hookups.

Permits are pulled and inspections scheduled as required by Sausalito building codes. We stock multiple brands and sizes, including traditional tank and tankless water heaters, so you get the right fit for your home.

Every installation comes with warranty coverage on both parts and labor. We also provide maintenance tips and emergency contact information, because we know water heater problems don’t always happen during business hours.

Most water heater installations take 3-5 hours from start to finish. This includes removing the old unit, installing the new one, and testing all connections. If we need to upgrade gas lines or electrical connections, it might take longer, but we’ll let you know upfront. Same-day installation is typical for standard replacements, and you’ll have hot water restored by the end of the day.
Water heater size depends on your household size and usage patterns. A 40-50 gallon tank typically works for 2-3 people, while larger families need 60-80 gallons. We assess your current usage, number of bathrooms, and appliances that use hot water. Tankless units are sized differently based on flow rate. We’ll recommend the right capacity to ensure you never run out of hot water during peak usage times.
Yes, we pull all necessary permits and schedule required inspections with the City of Sausalito. Water heater installations typically require permits to ensure safety and code compliance. We’re familiar with local requirements and handle the paperwork so you don’t have to deal with city offices. The permit cost is included in our upfront pricing, and we’ll coordinate inspection scheduling around your availability.
Both have advantages depending on your situation. Traditional tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for most homes. Tankless units save space, last longer, and provide unlimited hot water, but cost more initially and may require gas line upgrades. We’ll evaluate your home’s setup, usage patterns, and budget to recommend the best option. Many Sausalito homeowners choose tankless for the energy savings and space benefits.
We install major brands including Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, and Rinnai. Each brand offers different features and warranty options. We’ll recommend specific models based on your needs and budget rather than pushing one brand. All the water heaters we install meet California energy efficiency standards and come with manufacturer warranties. We stock common sizes for same-day installation and can order specialty units as needed.
Water heater installation costs vary based on the unit type, size, and any necessary upgrades to existing connections. Traditional tank installations typically range from $1,200-$2,500, while tankless units cost $2,500-$4,500 installed. Additional costs may apply for gas line upgrades, electrical work, or permit fees. We provide detailed upfront pricing before starting work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying with no surprise charges.
