We’ve been handling water heater emergencies and replacements throughout Arden-Arcade, and we understand how Sacramento County’s hard water and older home infrastructure can impact your system. When your water heater fails, you need someone who knows the local challenges and has the experience to solve them quickly.
Our technicians are licensed, professional, and equipped to handle everything from emergency repairs to complete system replacements. We’re not the cheapest option—and that’s intentional. You’re investing in quality work, transparent pricing, and service that lasts.
We start with an honest assessment of your current system. If repair makes sense, we’ll tell you. If replacement is the better choice, we’ll explain why and give you upfront pricing—no surprises or hidden fees.
Once you approve the work, we handle the removal of your old unit and proper installation of the new water heater. This includes connecting all water lines, gas or electrical connections, and ensuring proper venting and safety compliance.

Our water heater replacement service includes complete removal of your old unit, professional installation of the new system, and all necessary connections and safety compliance. We work with all major brands and can help you choose the right size and type for your household’s needs.
Arden-Arcade’s mix of older and newer homes means we regularly work with different installation challenges—from tight spaces in older homes to upgrading electrical systems for modern units. We handle the permits, inspections, and any code compliance issues so you don’t have to navigate that process.
Every installation includes testing, safety checks, and a walkthrough of your new system. We also provide guidance on maintenance and energy efficiency tips specific to Sacramento County’s water conditions. You get professional installation, warranty protection, and ongoing support when you need it.
Most water heater replacements take 3-6 hours, depending on the complexity of your installation. Straightforward replacements where we’re swapping a similar unit in the same location typically take about 3 hours.
More complex situations—like upgrading from a tank to tankless system, relocating the unit, or dealing with older homes that need electrical or gas line updates—can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront so you can plan accordingly.
In most cases, you’ll have hot water restored the same day. For emergency replacements, we prioritize getting your hot water back as quickly as possible while ensuring the installation meets all safety and code requirements.
Water heater replacement costs vary based on the type of unit, installation complexity, and any additional work needed. Standard tank water heaters typically range from $1,200-$2,500 installed, while tankless units range from $2,500-$4,500.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work—no surprises or hidden fees. This includes the unit, installation labor, basic materials, and hauling away your old water heater. Additional costs only apply if we discover unexpected issues like code violations or needed repairs to existing connections.
Our pricing reflects quality equipment and professional installation. We’re not the cheapest option, but our customers consistently note that our final costs often come in at or below our estimates, and the work is done right the first time.
If your water heater is over 8-10 years old and experiencing problems, replacement is usually the smarter investment. Repairs on older units often lead to more breakdowns, and you’re dealing with reduced efficiency and higher energy costs.
For newer units under 5 years old, repairs often make sense—especially for issues like faulty thermostats, heating elements, or minor leaks. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense for your situation.
Signs that point toward replacement include inconsistent hot water, rusty water, strange noises, visible corrosion, or multiple recent repairs. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed decision.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency water heater service throughout Arden-Arcade. When your water heater fails completely, we understand you need hot water restored as quickly as possible—not when it’s convenient for a normal business schedule.
Emergency replacements typically cost more due to after-hours service, but we’re transparent about emergency pricing upfront. We stock common water heater sizes and can often complete emergency replacements the same day, even on weekends and holidays.
For true emergencies like flooding from a failed tank, we can often respond within a few hours. We’ll assess the situation, stop any water damage, and get your replacement process started immediately.
Water heater sizing depends on your household size and hot water usage patterns. A typical 2-3 person household needs a 40-50 gallon tank, while 4-5 people usually require 50-80 gallons. Larger families or homes with high usage may need 80+ gallon units.
We also consider your specific usage—homes with jetted tubs, multiple bathrooms, or high-efficiency appliances may need larger capacity. For tankless units, we calculate based on simultaneous usage and flow rates rather than storage capacity.
During our assessment, we’ll review your current usage, ask about any changes in household size, and recommend the right size for your needs. Proper sizing ensures you have adequate hot water without paying for unnecessary capacity or energy waste.
We work with all major water heater brands including Rheem, Bradford White, AO Smith, and others. Rather than pushing one specific brand, we recommend units based on your budget, efficiency needs, and installation requirements.
Different brands excel in different areas—some offer better warranties, others have superior energy efficiency, and some are better suited for specific installation challenges. We’ll explain the differences and help you choose based on what matters most for your situation.
All the brands we install are reliable, well-supported options with good warranty coverage. We also ensure we can service and maintain whatever unit we install, so you’re not left without support if you need future service.
