We offer options that make sense for Fruitridge Pocket homes. Traditional tank water heaters for reliable, affordable hot water. Tankless systems for smaller spaces and energy savings. High-efficiency models that cut your utility bills.
Sacramento’s hard water means we recommend units designed to handle mineral buildup. We stock quality brands that perform well in our local conditions, not the cheapest units that fail in two years.
Every installation includes proper permits, code-compliant work, and warranty coverage. We handle the paperwork, so you don’t have to deal with city inspectors or worry about compliance issues down the road.
