How much does water heater replacement cost in Daly City?

Water heater replacement in Daly City typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500, depending on the type and size of unit you choose. Traditional tank water heaters cost less upfront, while tankless units have higher initial costs but lower operating expenses. We provide upfront pricing that includes the unit, installation, permits, and disposal of your old water heater. No hidden fees or surprise charges after we start the work.
Most water heater replacements take 3-4 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new water heater, connecting all utilities, and testing the system. Tankless installations may take longer due to additional venting or electrical requirements. We schedule appointments with realistic timeframes, so you’re not waiting around all day wondering when we’ll finish.
Yes, Daly City requires permits for water heater replacement to ensure the work meets current safety and building codes. We handle all permit applications and schedule inspections as part of our service. This protects you from potential issues when selling your home or filing insurance claims. Skipping permits might save money upfront, but it creates bigger problems later.
Water heater size depends on your household size and hot water usage patterns. A family of four typically needs a 40-50 gallon tank or a tankless unit rated for 7-8 gallons per minute. We assess your current usage, number of bathrooms, and appliances that use hot water to recommend the right size. Installing an undersized unit means running out of hot water, while oversizing wastes energy and money.
Tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for most families, while tankless units save space and reduce energy costs over time. Tankless heaters provide unlimited hot water but have higher installation costs, especially if your home needs electrical or gas line upgrades. We explain the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation, not what makes us the most money.
If your water heater stops working entirely, we offer emergency replacement service to restore your hot water quickly. We keep common sizes in stock for same-day installation when possible. Complete failures often happen without warning, especially in older units, so we prioritize these calls to minimize your inconvenience. Emergency service may include additional fees for after-hours or weekend appointments.
