Your family’s routine goes back to normal. Hot showers when you want them. Laundry that actually gets clean. Dishes that sparkle. That’s what reliable hot water does—it removes the stress from your daily routine and puts comfort back where it belongs.
Murray Plumbing has built its reputation in the Sacramento area on two simple principles: quick response times and transparent pricing. With a 4.7/5 Google rating based on 93 reviews, customers consistently praise us for being reliable and punctual.
The Land Park neighborhood, with its mix of 1930s and 1940s homes, presents unique plumbing challenges. Many of these beautifully maintained properties still have original plumbing systems that require careful attention during water heater installations.
We understand these local nuances. Whether you’re in one of the Tudor-style homes near William Land Park or a renovated Craftsman closer to Broadway, our team knows how to work with your home’s existing systems while ensuring everything meets current building codes.
When you call Murray Plumbing, you speak with someone who can actually help you—not a call center that puts you on hold. We’ll assess your situation and often schedule same-day service, especially for emergency situations.
Our technician arrives with a fully stocked vehicle, ready to handle most water heater installations without making multiple trips. We’ll evaluate your current setup, explain what needs to be done, and provide upfront pricing before starting any work.
During installation, we handle all the technical details: disconnecting the old unit, ensuring proper connections for the new system, and making sure everything meets Sacramento building codes. We coordinate permits when needed and clean up the work area when finished. You’re left with reliable hot water and peace of mind that the job was done right.

Murray Plumbing handles every aspect of water heater service, from emergency repairs to complete system replacements. This includes traditional tank water heaters, tankless systems, and hybrid models—whatever fits your home’s needs and budget.
In Land Park’s older homes, water heater installation often involves more than just swapping out units. We frequently work with vintage plumbing systems, updating connections and ensuring compatibility with modern water heaters while preserving the character of these historic properties.
Our service extends beyond installation day. Murray Plumbing provides ongoing maintenance recommendations and stands behind our work. When customers call back months later with questions, they get the same responsive service that earned us our strong reputation in the Sacramento area.
Murray Plumbing often provides same-day water heater installation, especially for emergency situations. When other companies tell you to wait a week, we typically schedule service within 24 hours.
The timeline depends on your specific situation and the type of water heater you need. For straightforward replacements in accessible locations, the entire process—from removal of the old unit to testing the new system—usually takes 2-4 hours. More complex installations involving electrical or plumbing modifications may require additional time, but our technician will explain the timeline upfront so you know what to expect.
Water heater installation costs in Land Park typically range from $1,600 to $2,400 for a standard 50-gallon gas unit, including the water heater, installation labor, and necessary permits. The final cost depends on your specific situation, the type of water heater selected, and any additional work needed.
Murray Plumbing provides transparent, upfront pricing before starting any work. Many customers report that their final cost was actually less than the original estimate. We don’t work on commission, so you won’t experience high-pressure sales tactics—just honest assessment and fair pricing for quality work.
Yes, Murray Plumbing handles all permit requirements for water heater installations in Sacramento and Land Park. Sacramento County requires permits for water heater installations, and the process involves specific safety and building code requirements that must be met.
Our technician coordinates with local building departments to obtain necessary permits and ensures all work meets current codes. This includes proper venting, electrical connections, and safety features required by Sacramento building standards. You don’t have to navigate the permit process yourself—it’s handled as part of our professional installation service.
Land Park’s homes, many built in the 1930s and 1940s, often work well with traditional tank water heaters, though tankless systems can be excellent upgrades with proper planning. The choice depends on your home’s existing plumbing, electrical capacity, and your family’s hot water usage patterns.
Traditional tank water heaters are typically easier to install in older homes because they work with existing connections. Tankless systems offer space savings and energy efficiency but may require electrical or gas line upgrades. We assess your specific home’s setup and recommend the best option based on your needs, budget, and the technical requirements of your property.
Murray Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency water heater service throughout the Land Park area. When your water heater fails unexpectedly—which always seems to happen at the worst possible time—you can get immediate help rather than waiting until regular business hours.
Emergency service includes rapid response for water heater failures, leaks, and other urgent situations that leave you without hot water. Our technician arrives with diagnostic equipment and common replacement parts, often resolving the problem the same day. This emergency availability is particularly valuable for families with young children, elderly residents, or anyone who simply can’t function without reliable hot water.
Water heaters in Sacramento typically last 8-12 years, though this varies based on water quality, usage patterns, and maintenance. Sacramento’s relatively hard water can accelerate mineral buildup inside tanks, potentially shortening lifespan without proper maintenance.
Signs it’s time for replacement include inconsistent water temperature, rusty or discolored water, strange noises from the tank, visible leaks, or steadily increasing energy bills. In Land Park’s older homes, original water heaters installed decades ago are often well past replacement time. We can assess your current system’s condition and help you determine whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense for your situation.
