Complete Water Heater Installation

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Your water heater replacement includes professional installation, proper disposal of your old unit, and all necessary permits and inspections. We bring quality equipment from trusted manufacturers, not bottom-shelf units that fail early.

You’ll also get code compliance updates if needed, since San Bruno building codes have evolved over the years. This protects your investment and ensures safe operation.

Every installation comes with warranty coverage on both parts and labor. We also provide clear operating instructions and maintenance tips to help your new water heater last as long as possible. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, just complete service that gets your hot water working reliably.

How long does water heater replacement take in San Bruno?

Most standard water heater replacements take 3-4 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new water heater, testing the system, and cleanup. If we need to update gas lines, electrical connections, or venting to meet current codes, it might take a bit longer. We’ll let you know the timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly. The good news is you’ll have hot water restored the same day in most cases.

What's the cost of water heater replacement in San Bruno?

Water heater replacement costs depend on the type and size of unit you need, plus any code updates required. Standard tank water heaters typically run less than tankless units, but tankless models offer long-term energy savings. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. No hidden fees or surprise charges. We also offer financing options to help spread the cost if that works better for your budget.

Do you handle permits for water heater installation in San Bruno?

Yes, we handle all permit requirements for water heater replacement in San Bruno. This includes pulling the necessary permits and scheduling inspections to ensure everything meets current building codes. San Bruno has specific requirements for water heater installations, especially for gas units and venting systems. We know these codes inside and out, so you don’t have to worry about compliance issues. The permit costs are included in your upfront pricing.

Can you install tankless water heaters in San Bruno homes?

Absolutely. Tankless water heaters work great in San Bruno homes and can significantly reduce your energy bills. However, some older homes need electrical or gas line upgrades to support tankless units. We’ll assess your current setup and let you know what’s involved. Tankless units provide endless hot water and take up much less space than traditional tank water heaters. They also last longer and qualify for energy rebates in many cases.

What if my water heater fails on weekends or evenings?

We offer emergency water heater service for San Bruno residents when you can’t wait until regular business hours. Water heater failures don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither do we when you need help. Emergency service does carry additional charges, but we’ll explain the costs upfront before dispatching a technician. In many cases, we can get your hot water restored the same day, even on weekends.

How do I know if I need water heater repair or replacement?

If your water heater is over 8-10 years old and having frequent issues, replacement usually makes more sense than repeated repairs. Signs that point to replacement include rusty water, strange noises, water pooling around the unit, or inconsistent water temperature. We’ll assess your current water heater honestly and recommend repair if that’s the most cost-effective option. However, older units that keep breaking down end up costing more in repairs than a new, efficient replacement would cost.
