You flip the handle expecting hot water, and it’s there. No waiting. No surprises. No cold showers that ruin your morning routine.
That’s what a properly installed water heater system delivers. Whether you’re washing dishes after dinner, running laundry, or starting your day with a hot shower, you get consistent temperature and pressure every time.
When your current unit starts showing its age—taking longer to heat up, making strange noises, or delivering rusty water—you’re looking at more than inconvenience. You’re facing potential flooding, higher energy bills, and the stress of emergency repairs at the worst possible moment.
We’ve been handling water heater installation and replacement throughout Citrus Heights since the late 90s. We’ve seen every type of failure, worked in homes built in the 1970s boom, and helped families upgrade from outdated systems.
As a family-owned business, we keep our overhead low and pass those savings to you. No high-pressure sales tactics or surprise fees—just honest recommendations and fair pricing that often comes in under our initial estimate.
Our 5-star reputation comes from doing what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it. Citrus Heights homeowners know they can count on us for both emergency repairs and planned replacements.
First, we assess your current system and your household’s hot water needs. Family of four with teenagers? You’ll need different capacity than empty nesters. We measure the space, check your electrical and gas connections, and discuss your options—traditional tank, tankless, or hybrid systems.
Next, we provide a written estimate with no hidden fees. We explain what’s included, timeline, and any permits needed. Most standard replacements take 2-4 hours from start to finish.
Installation day, we arrive on time with everything needed. We remove your old unit safely, install the new system to code, test everything thoroughly, and clean up completely. You’ll have hot water the same day, plus documentation for warranty and future service.

We handle every aspect of water heater service in Citrus Heights—from emergency repairs on 15-year-old units to installing the latest energy-efficient models. Tank or tankless, gas or electric, we work with all major brands and can source parts for older systems.
Citrus Heights homes built in the 1970s often need electrical upgrades for modern water heaters. We coordinate with licensed electricians when needed and ensure everything meets current code requirements.
Many of our Citrus Heights customers are surprised by how much space they gain with newer, compact designs. Modern units are more efficient, take up less room, and include features like leak detection and scale monitoring that weren’t available even five years ago.
Traditional tank water heaters last 8-12 years on average, while tankless systems can run 15-20 years with proper maintenance. In Citrus Heights, the age of your home matters—older homes built in the 1970s often have original plumbing that affects water heater lifespan.
Hard water, common in parts of Sacramento County, can shorten tank life due to mineral buildup. Regular maintenance helps, but once you start seeing rusty water, inconsistent temperatures, or strange noises, it’s usually time to replace rather than repair.
If your water heater is over 10 years old and having issues, replacement often makes more financial sense than expensive repairs on an aging system.
It depends on your household’s hot water usage and space constraints. Tank systems cost less upfront and work well for families with predictable usage patterns. They store 40-80 gallons of hot water, so multiple people can shower back-to-back.
Tankless systems heat water on-demand, never run out, and take up much less space—perfect for Citrus Heights homes where every square foot counts. They cost more initially but last longer and can reduce energy bills by 20-30%.
For large families or homes with multiple bathrooms, we often recommend staying with tank systems. For couples or smaller households, tankless makes excellent sense both financially and practically.
The most obvious sign is insufficient hot water—if your shower runs lukewarm or you’re constantly running out during normal use, something’s wrong. Other red flags include rusty or discolored water, strange noises like popping or banging, and any visible leaks around the unit.
Age matters too. If your water heater is over 10 years old and showing any of these symptoms, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. Waiting too long risks catastrophic failure that can flood your home with hundreds of gallons of water.
Don’t ignore small leaks or minor temperature issues—they typically get worse quickly and can cause major damage if the tank fails completely.
Water heater installation in Citrus Heights typically ranges from $1,200-$3,500 depending on the type of unit, complexity of installation, and any necessary upgrades to electrical or gas lines. Standard tank replacements in straightforward locations cost less than tankless installations or situations requiring new venting.
Many Citrus Heights homes need electrical upgrades for modern water heaters, which adds to the total cost but ensures safe, code-compliant operation. We provide written estimates that include all necessary work—no surprise charges.
As a family-owned business with low overhead, we often beat larger companies’ prices while providing the same quality installation and warranty coverage.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency water heater service throughout Citrus Heights. Water heater failures don’t wait for business hours, and a leaking unit can cause thousands in damage if not addressed quickly.
Common emergencies include complete loss of hot water, visible leaks, or gas odors around gas water heaters. We prioritize same-day service for these situations and can often provide temporary solutions while arranging permanent repairs or replacement.
Our emergency service covers the entire Citrus Heights area, and we stock common parts on our trucks to handle most repairs immediately rather than requiring multiple trips.
We install and service all major water heater brands including Rheem, AO Smith, Bradford White, and State. Each brand has strengths—Rheem offers excellent warranties, AO Smith has innovative features, and Bradford White builds commercial-grade residential units.
For Citrus Heights homeowners, we typically recommend brands with strong local parts availability and service networks. There’s no point installing a great water heater if you can’t get parts when needed five years from now.
We’ll discuss brand options during your consultation based on your budget, space constraints, and performance needs. Our goal is matching you with a system that provides reliable service for years to come.
