Everything You Actually Need

We handle traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems. Gas, electric, hybrid – whatever you have in your Sausalito home.

Emergency repairs when your system completely fails. Maintenance to catch problems before they leave you without hot water. Efficiency improvements that actually lower your PG&E bills.

If your unit is beyond repair, we’ll tell you straight. We install new systems properly the first time, with permits and inspections handled correctly for Sausalito building requirements.

How quickly can you repair my water heater in Sausalito?

Most water heater repairs in Sausalito happen the same day you call, especially for common issues like failed heating elements or faulty thermostats. We keep standard parts in our trucks for both traditional and tankless systems. Emergency calls get priority scheduling – if you’re completely without hot water, we’ll get there as fast as traffic from our location allows. The actual repair usually takes 1-3 hours depending on what’s wrong.

Should I repair or replace my old water heater?

If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair costs less than half of replacement, repair usually makes sense. For units over 12 years old with major component failures, replacement often saves money long-term. We’ll be straight with you about what makes financial sense. Factors include your current energy bills, how often you’ve needed repairs lately, and whether your system meets current efficiency standards.

Do you work on tankless water heaters?

Yes, we repair and maintain all major tankless water heater brands including Rinnai, Navien, and Rheem. Tankless systems need different expertise than traditional tanks – we handle descaling, gas line adjustments, venting issues, and error code diagnostics. Many Sausalito homes have switched to tankless for space savings and efficiency. We also install new tankless systems when your old tank finally gives up.

What causes water heaters to fail suddenly?

Heating elements burn out from mineral buildup in Bay Area’s hard water. Thermostats fail and stop triggering the heating cycle. Gas control valves stick or break on gas units. Sediment buildup reduces efficiency until the system can’t keep up with demand. In Sausalito’s older homes, sometimes it’s electrical connections that have loosened over time. Regular maintenance catches most of these before they leave you without hot water completely.

How much does water heater repair cost in Sausalito?

Simple repairs like replacing a heating element typically run $200-400. Thermostat replacement usually costs $250-450. More complex issues like gas valve replacement can reach $400-700. We give you the exact price before starting work – no surprises when we’re done. Emergency service calls include a diagnostic fee that gets applied to the repair cost if you choose to move forward with us.

Do you offer warranties on water heater repairs?

All our water heater repairs come with a warranty on both parts and labor. The length depends on what we’re fixing – heating elements and thermostats typically get 1-2 year coverage, while major component replacements may include longer protection. We use quality parts from manufacturers like Bradford White, Rheem, and AO Smith. If something we repaired fails during the warranty period, we’ll come back and make it right at no charge.
