A new water heater is a big decision. We help you choose the right size and type, handle permits, and install it right — with $100 off installation for a limited time.
What Is Water Heater Installation?
Water heater installation isn’t just swapping one tank for another. Proper sizing, venting, seismic strapping (required in California), gas line sizing, and permit compliance all matter. We handle every detail.
We’ll walk you through tank vs. tankless, capacity needs for your household, energy efficiency ratings, and total cost of ownership. Then we install with code-compliant workmanship and haul away your old unit.
Every installation includes a satisfaction guarantee and manufacturer warranty registration. We pull permits when required and schedule inspections so you’re fully covered.
