Your water heater replacement includes everything needed for a professional installation. We remove and dispose of your old unit, install your new water heater with proper connections to existing gas or electric lines, and test everything to ensure safe operation.
Hood’s location in Sacramento County means we’re familiar with local code requirements and permitting needs. California has specific energy efficiency standards that we navigate for you, ensuring your new water heater meets all regulations while delivering optimal performance.
We stock our trucks with the parts most Hood homes need, from standard tank water heaters to energy-efficient tankless models. Whether you’re dealing with the challenges of an older home or upgrading for better efficiency, we have options that fit your situation and budget. Our installation includes proper venting, safety connections, and thorough testing to give you years of reliable service.
Most water heater replacements in Hood take 2-4 hours from start to finish. The exact time depends on your specific situation—replacing a standard tank with another standard tank in an accessible location is typically on the shorter end.
If we’re upgrading from tank to tankless, dealing with older plumbing connections, or your water heater is in a tight space, it might take closer to 4 hours. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your situation so you can plan accordingly.
The good news is we handle everything in one visit. You won’t be left without hot water for days while we come back to finish the job.
Water heater replacement costs in Hood typically range from $1,200 to $3,500, depending on the type of unit you choose and your specific installation requirements. Standard tank water heaters are on the lower end of that range, while tankless or high-efficiency models cost more upfront but can save money on energy bills long-term.
We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying. Many of our customers are pleasantly surprised when their final bill comes in lower than our initial estimate—we’d rather overestimate and undercharge than hit you with surprise costs.
Factors that affect cost include the size of your new water heater, whether any plumbing modifications are needed, and local permit requirements. We’ll walk through all of this during our assessment.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency water heater service throughout Hood and Sacramento County. When your water heater fails, especially during winter months, you don’t have time to wait days for service.
Our emergency service means we can often get your new water heater installed the same day you call. We keep our trucks stocked with common sizes and have relationships with local suppliers to get what you need quickly.
Emergency service does come with higher rates than scheduled appointments, but we’re upfront about pricing. Sometimes a quick repair can get you by until normal business hours, and we’ll let you know if that’s an option to save you money.
We install all major water heater brands including Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, and Rinnai. These manufacturers offer reliable performance and good warranty coverage, which matters when you’re making this kind of investment.
We’ll recommend the best brand and model based on your specific needs—household size, hot water usage, available space, and budget. Some brands excel in certain areas, like energy efficiency or longevity, and we’ll explain the differences so you can make an informed decision.
All the brands we install meet California’s energy efficiency requirements and come with manufacturer warranties. We also stand behind our installation work, so you’re covered if anything goes wrong with how we set up your system.
If your water heater is over 8-10 years old and having problems, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. Signs that point toward replacement include inconsistent water temperature, visible leaks around the base, rusty or discolored water, and strange noises like rumbling or banging.
Age is the biggest factor—most tank water heaters last 8-12 years with proper maintenance. If you’re dealing with major repairs on an older unit, you’ll likely face more problems soon, making replacement the smarter financial choice.
We’ll always be honest about whether repair or replacement makes sense for your situation. Sometimes a simple fix can buy you time to plan for replacement, and we’ll let you know if that’s the case rather than pushing for unnecessary work.
Yes, we’re fully licensed as a plumbing contractor in California and carry complete liability insurance. This protects both you and us if anything goes wrong during the installation, and it ensures all work meets state and local code requirements.
We can provide proof of licensing and insurance if requested. Working with unlicensed contractors might save money upfront, but it can cost you much more if something goes wrong or the work doesn’t meet code requirements.
Our licensing means we’re qualified to handle gas lines, electrical connections, and all the technical aspects of water heater installation safely. We also pull proper permits when required and ensure everything passes inspection.
