Livermore’s hard water can shorten water heater life, so we consider local conditions when making recommendations. Sometimes a repair buys you a few more years while you plan for eventual replacement.

Common tankless issues we handle include mineral buildup, ignition problems, and flow sensor failures. Livermore’s hard water makes regular maintenance especially important for tankless systems.
