Water heater replacement costs in Placerville typically range from $1,200 to $3,500, depending on the type and size of unit you choose. Standard 40-50 gallon tank water heaters are on the lower end, while tankless or high-efficiency models cost more.

Placerville’s hard water requires water heaters built to handle mineral buildup. We typically recommend Rheem, Bradford White, and AO Smith units, which perform reliably in our local water conditions.
These brands offer good warranty coverage and have service support in our area. Tankless units from Rinnai and Navien also handle hard water well with proper maintenance.
The key is choosing a unit with quality components and following proper maintenance schedules. We’ll recommend specific models based on your water quality test results and usage needs.
Most water heaters in Placerville last 8-12 years, though this varies based on water quality, usage, and maintenance. Hard water conditions can shorten lifespan if the unit isn’t properly maintained.
Signs it’s time for replacement include inconsistent water temperature, rust-colored water, unusual noises, or visible corrosion around the tank. Age alone isn’t always the deciding factor.
We can assess your current water heater’s condition and help you decide whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense. Sometimes a well-maintained 10-year-old unit has several good years left.
