Campus Commons homes need water heating solutions that can handle Sacramento’s temperature extremes and hard water conditions. Whether you’re replacing an aging tank system or upgrading to a space-saving tankless unit, you get options that actually make sense for your home and budget.
Traditional tank water heaters offer reliable, cost-effective hot water for most households, while tankless systems provide endless hot water and significant energy savings over time. With Campus Commons’ premium home values and quality expectations, many residents choose tankless for the long-term efficiency and space benefits.
Every installation includes proper permits, code compliance, and warranty protection. Your new water heater will be sized correctly for your household’s needs and installed to California’s strict safety standards.
Most water heater replacements in Campus Commons can be completed the same day you call, often within a few hours. Our technician arrives with common water heater models and all necessary installation materials already on the truck.
For standard tank-to-tank replacements, the work typically takes 2-4 hours from start to finish. Tankless installations or complex conversions might take 4-6 hours, but you’ll still have hot water restored the same day in most cases.
Emergency situations get priority scheduling, because nobody should have to go without hot water when there’s a solution available right now.
Traditional tank water heaters in Sacramento typically cost $800-$1,500 installed, while tankless systems range from $2,000-$6,000 depending on the unit size and installation complexity. The higher upfront cost of tankless systems is offset by significant long-term energy savings.
Tankless units last longer than traditional tanks—often 15-20 years versus 8-12 years for tanks. They also use 20-30% less energy since they only heat water on demand rather than maintaining a large tank of hot water 24/7.
For Campus Commons homes with higher property values, many homeowners choose tankless for the space savings, unlimited hot water, and increased home value, despite the higher initial investment.
Yes, California requires permits for all water heater installations and replacements to ensure safety code compliance. This isn’t optional red tape—it’s a critical safety requirement that protects your home and family.
Murray Plumbing handles all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. We know Sacramento County’s specific requirements and ensure every installation meets current building codes, gas line regulations, and electrical standards.
Attempting to skip permits can create serious problems when you sell your home, file insurance claims, or face safety issues. Professional installation with proper permits protects your investment and gives you peace of mind.
Water heaters over 8-10 years old with major problems are usually better candidates for replacement than repair. If you’re facing expensive repairs on an aging unit, replacement often makes more financial sense.
Clear replacement signals include: no hot water production, visible leaks around the tank base, rusty or discolored water, strange noises like rumbling or popping, or significantly higher energy bills. Multiple repair calls within a short period also indicate it’s time for a new unit.
Our technician will assess your current system and give you honest recommendations. If a simple repair will give you several more years of reliable service, we’ll tell you. If replacement is the smarter choice, we’ll explain why and show you the long-term cost comparison.
Most Campus Commons homes with 2-3 bedrooms need a 40-50 gallon tank water heater or a 6-8 GPM tankless unit. The right size depends on your household’s peak hot water demand, not just the number of people living there.
Factors include: number of bathrooms, whether you have high-flow showerheads, if you run dishwasher and washing machine simultaneously, and your family’s hot water usage patterns. Undersized units leave you with cold showers, while oversized units waste energy and money.
Our technician will calculate your home’s actual hot water needs during the assessment. We’ll consider your current usage patterns and any planned changes to ensure your new water heater delivers reliable hot water without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.
New water heaters come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 6-12 years depending on the model and brand you choose. Premium units often include longer warranty periods and better coverage terms.
The installation work itself is backed by Murray Plumbing’s service guarantee, ensuring that any installation-related issues are resolved at no additional cost. This covers everything from proper connections to code compliance and system performance.
Extended warranty options are available for additional protection beyond the standard coverage. Our technician will explain all warranty terms upfront so you understand exactly what’s covered and for how long, giving you complete confidence in your investment.
