Your water heater replacement includes everything needed for a proper installation. Professional removal of your old unit. Code-compliant installation of your new system. Complete testing to ensure reliable operation.
Cameron Park’s older homes often need additional considerations during water heater replacement. We handle permit requirements, upgrade electrical connections when necessary, and ensure your new unit meets current California energy efficiency standards.
You get a full warranty on both the unit and our installation work. Plus ongoing support if you have questions about your new water heater’s operation or maintenance needs.
Most water heater replacements in Cameron Park take 2-4 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new one, and testing everything thoroughly.
The timeline can vary if we need to upgrade electrical connections or gas lines to meet current codes. We’ll explain any additional work needed upfront so there are no surprises.
Emergency replacements often happen the same day you call. We keep common water heater sizes in stock specifically for Cameron Park’s urgent situations.
Most Cameron Park families need a 40-50 gallon tank water heater. A household of 2-3 people typically works well with a 40-gallon unit, while families of 4+ usually need 50 gallons or larger.
We also consider your home’s hot water usage patterns. Multiple bathrooms, large soaking tubs, or high-efficiency appliances can increase your capacity needs. Tankless options work well for smaller Cameron Park homes with limited space.
During our assessment, we’ll evaluate your current usage and recommend the right size for your specific situation. Getting the sizing right means reliable hot water without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.
If your water heater is over 8 years old and having problems, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. Older units become increasingly unreliable and energy-inefficient.
Major repairs like replacing the tank, heat exchanger, or multiple components often cost 50-70% of a new unit’s price. At that point, you’re better off investing in a new, warrantied system.
We’ll give you honest advice about repair versus replacement based on your unit’s age, condition, and repair costs. Sometimes a simple fix makes sense, but we’ll never recommend expensive repairs on a unit that’s likely to fail again soon.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency water heater replacement throughout Cameron Park. Water heater failures don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.

We install all major water heater brands including Rheem, AO Smith, Bradford White, and Whirlpool. Each brand offers different features, efficiency ratings, and warranty terms.
For Cameron Park’s climate and water conditions, we typically recommend units with good corrosion resistance and energy efficiency ratings. We’ll explain the differences between brands and help you choose based on your budget and needs.
We’re not tied to any single manufacturer, so our recommendations are based on what works best for your situation, not what makes us the most profit.
Water heater replacement in Cameron Park typically ranges from $1,200-$2,500 depending on the unit size, type, and installation requirements. Standard tank replacements are less expensive than tankless or high-efficiency models.
