Your mornings just got easier. No more timing showers around your family’s schedule or dealing with that dreaded blast of cold water mid-rinse.
With a properly sized tankless system, you get hot water the moment you turn the faucet. Your teenagers can take back-to-back showers while you run the dishwasher without anyone getting stuck with lukewarm water.
You’ll see the difference on your energy bill too. Instead of keeping 40-80 gallons hot around the clock, your new system only heats water when you actually need it. Most Sacramento homeowners save $100+ per year, and that’s before factoring in SMUD’s generous rebate programs.
We understand that water heater problems don’t wait for convenient times. That’s why we’ve built our reputation around quick response and transparent service throughout Sacramento and Northern California.
We know Sacramento’s unique challenges – from hard water issues to SMUD’s rebate requirements. Our team handles everything from proper sizing to permit requirements, so you don’t have to navigate the process alone.
What sets us apart is simple: we show up when we say we will, explain what needs to be done without the jargon, and give you an honest price upfront. No diagnostic fees, no surprises after the work starts.
First, we’ll assess your current setup and hot water usage patterns. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation – your family’s needs determine the right unit size and placement.
Next comes the installation itself. We’ll handle any necessary gas line upgrades, electrical work, and venting modifications. Most installations take 3-6 hours, depending on your current setup.
Before we leave, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through the new system’s operation. You’ll know how to adjust settings, what maintenance to expect, and when to call us if questions come up later. We also handle all the SMUD rebate paperwork so you get every dollar you’re entitled to.

Sacramento homeowners have access to some of the best water heater incentives in California. SMUD currently offers rebates up to $3,000 for qualifying tankless installations, and federal tax credits can add another $2,000 to your savings.
These programs exist because Sacramento’s energy grid benefits when homes use less power during peak hours. Your new tankless system supports that goal while cutting your monthly bills.
The rebate process can be complex, but we handle the paperwork as part of our service. We’re SMUD-approved contractors, which means we know exactly what documentation they require and how to ensure your installation qualifies. You focus on enjoying your endless hot water – we’ll make sure you get every rebate dollar available.
Installation costs typically range from $800 to $3,500 in Sacramento, depending on your current setup and the unit you choose. Gas units generally cost more to install than electric, but they also provide higher flow rates.
The good news is SMUD rebates can cover up to $3,000 of your costs, and federal tax credits add another potential $2,000 in savings. When you factor in the energy savings over the unit’s 20+ year lifespan, most Sacramento homeowners see a positive return on their investment.
We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront, including any necessary upgrades to gas lines or electrical systems. No surprises, no hidden diagnostic fees.
Yes, tankless systems work well with Sacramento’s hard water, but they do require more frequent maintenance than in areas with softer water. We typically recommend annual flushing to prevent mineral buildup in the heat exchanger.
The advantage is that tankless systems are much easier to maintain than traditional tanks. Instead of dealing with sediment buildup in a 40-80 gallon tank, you’re maintaining a compact unit that’s accessible and designed for service.
We can also recommend water softening solutions if your water is particularly hard. Many of our Sacramento customers find that a modest water treatment investment protects their tankless system and improves performance throughout their home.
Most installations take 3-6 hours, but the timeline depends on your current setup. If you’re replacing a tank with a tankless system in the same location, we’re usually done in 3-4 hours.
More complex installations – like moving the unit to a different location or upgrading gas lines – can take a full day. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during our initial assessment.
For emergency situations, we often have units in stock and can complete same-day installations. We understand that being without hot water isn’t an option for most families, so we prioritize quick turnaround times whenever possible.
Yes, Sacramento requires permits for tankless water heater installations, and we handle all permit requirements as part of our service. This includes the initial permit application, scheduling required inspections, and ensuring everything meets local building codes.
SMUD rebates actually require proper permitting and inspection, so skipping this step would cost you money. We’re familiar with Sacramento’s requirements and have relationships with local inspectors, which helps keep the process moving smoothly.
The permit process typically adds 1-2 days to the overall timeline, but it protects you legally and ensures your installation is done correctly. It’s also required for your homeowner’s insurance coverage.
The right size depends on your peak hot water demand, not your home’s square footage. We calculate this by looking at how many fixtures you might use simultaneously – multiple showers, dishwasher, washing machine, etc.
Most Sacramento homes need units that can handle 6-8 gallons per minute for whole-house coverage. Larger families or homes with multiple bathrooms often require 8-10 GPM units.
Gas units typically provide higher flow rates than electric, which is why they’re popular for larger homes. During our assessment, we’ll measure your current usage patterns and recommend the right capacity to ensure you never run short on hot water.
Sacramento homeowners typically save $100-200 per year on energy costs with tankless systems. The exact savings depend on your current water heater’s efficiency, your family’s hot water usage, and local utility rates.
The biggest savings come from eliminating standby heat loss – your current tank uses energy 24/7 to keep stored water hot, even when you’re not using any. Tankless systems only use energy when you actually need hot water.
Over a 20-year lifespan, these energy savings add up to $2,000-4,000, which often covers the entire cost of the system and installation. Add in the SMUD rebates and federal tax credits, and most homeowners see positive cash flow from day one.
