We’ve been serving Marin County families since 2001 as a third-generation, family-owned business. We’re not the fly-by-night contractors or the massive corporations that treat you like a number.
Our technicians show up in uniform, wear shoe covers in your home, and clean up the job site before they leave. We’re BBB accredited and fully licensed because doing things right matters to us and to your family’s safety.
Marin County’s unique water conditions and older home infrastructure require local knowledge. We understand how the mineral content in your water affects your system and which brands hold up best in this area.

We handle all types of water heater systems—traditional tank units, tankless water heater repair in Marin County, gas, electric, and hybrid systems. Whether you need emergency hot water heater repair in Marin County or routine maintenance, we’ve got the expertise and parts to get the job done.
Marin County’s hard water can cause sediment buildup that reduces efficiency and shortens your water heater’s life. We flush systems to remove buildup and recommend maintenance schedules that prevent costly breakdowns. Many of our clients in areas like San Rafael and Mill Valley see significant improvements in hot water recovery time after proper maintenance.
Our service includes leak detection and repair, thermostat replacement, heating element service, gas valve repairs, and complete system replacement when needed. We work with leading brands and can match your existing system or upgrade to more efficient models that reduce your utility bills.
Most water heater repair in Marin County is completed within 1-3 hours, depending on the problem and parts availability. Simple issues like thermostat replacement or heating element repairs typically take 1-2 hours.
More complex problems like gas valve replacement or extensive leak repairs may take longer. We carry common repair parts on our trucks, so most jobs are finished the same day. If we need to order special parts, we’ll give you a timeline upfront and can often provide temporary solutions to restore some hot water while we wait for parts to arrive.
The most frequent water heater issues we see in Marin County include sediment buildup from hard water, which causes rumbling noises and reduces efficiency. Heating element failures are common in electric units, especially in older systems.
Thermostat malfunctions cause inconsistent water temperatures—you might get scalding hot water one minute and lukewarm the next. Gas water heaters often develop pilot light problems or gas valve issues. Leaking tanks, usually from corrosion or loose connections, require immediate attention to prevent water damage.
The mineral content in Marin County’s water accelerates these problems, which is why regular maintenance is crucial for extending your water heater’s life.
If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of replacement, repair usually makes sense. However, if you’re facing multiple repairs, rising energy bills, or your unit is over 10 years old, replacement often provides better long-term value.
Signs that point toward replacement include rusty water, significant leaks from the tank itself, or when repair costs exceed 50% of a new unit’s price. We’ll always give you honest recommendations based on your specific situation and budget.
Modern water heaters are much more energy-efficient than older models. Many Marin County homeowners see immediate savings on their utility bills after upgrading, which helps offset the replacement cost over time.
Yes, we repair and maintain all types of tankless water heaters in Marin County, including gas and electric models from major brands like Rinnai, Navien, and Rheem. Tankless units require different expertise than traditional tank water heaters.
Common tankless water heater problems include mineral buildup that blocks heat exchangers, ignition failures, and flow sensor issues. These systems need annual flushing to prevent scale buildup, especially important in areas with hard water like much of Marin County.
We can diagnose error codes, replace components, and perform the specialized maintenance that keeps tankless systems running efficiently. Our technicians are trained on the latest tankless technology and carry parts for most popular models.
