You shouldn’t have to plan your showers around whether your water heater decides to work today. When we replace your failing water heater, you get consistent hot water that flows when you turn the handle.

Whether you choose a traditional tank or upgrade to a tankless system, you’ll have endless hot water for your family’s daily needs. Plus, newer water heaters run more efficiently, which means lower energy bills every month.
We’ve served Little Pocket and the greater Sacramento area for over 24 years with honest, professional plumbing services. We understand that water heater problems don’t wait for convenient times.
That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency service when your water heater fails. Our 4.7-star rating comes from customers who appreciate our transparent pricing and quick response times – we often arrive within hours of your call.
As a locally-owned business, we keep our overhead low so we can pass those savings on to you. We’re not here to sell you the most expensive option – we’re here to find the right solution for your home and budget.
First, we assess your current water heater and discuss your household’s hot water needs. We’ll explain whether repair makes sense or if replacement is your best option, along with upfront pricing for both scenarios.
If replacement is the way to go, we help you choose between traditional tank and tankless options based on your space, usage patterns, and budget. We handle all permits and ensure your new system meets local building codes.
On installation day, we arrive with everything needed to complete the job. We remove your old unit, install the new water heater, test everything thoroughly, and clean up completely. Most replacements are finished the same day, so you’re not without hot water for long.

Every water heater replacement includes professional installation, proper venting, and connection of all water lines. We handle gas line modifications for tankless upgrades and ensure your electrical connections meet current safety standards.
Little Pocket homes often have unique plumbing configurations from their midcentury construction. We’re familiar with these systems and know how to work efficiently in older homes without causing unnecessary disruption to your property.
Your replacement includes disposal of your old water heater, cleanup of the work area, and a thorough explanation of your new system’s operation. We also provide maintenance recommendations to help your new water heater last as long as possible in Sacramento’s hard water conditions.
Several signs indicate your water heater is failing and needs replacement. If your water temperature is inconsistent – sometimes hot, sometimes lukewarm – your heating elements or thermostat may be wearing out.
Rust-colored or discolored water coming from your hot water taps suggests internal corrosion that can’t be repaired. Strange noises like popping, banging, or rumbling usually mean sediment buildup that’s causing your system to work harder and less efficiently.
Visible leaks around your water heater tank are serious – they often indicate the tank itself is failing. If your water heater is over 10 years old and experiencing any of these issues, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
Traditional tank water heaters store 40-80 gallons of hot water and keep it heated constantly. They’re less expensive upfront but use more energy because they’re always maintaining water temperature, even when you’re not using hot water.
Tankless water heaters heat water on-demand as it flows through the unit. They take up much less space, last longer than tank units, and can provide endless hot water. However, they cost more initially and may require electrical or gas line upgrades.
For Little Pocket homes with limited space or high hot water usage, tankless systems often make sense. For smaller households or those wanting the lowest upfront cost, traditional tanks work well. We’ll help you determine which option fits your specific situation and budget.
Most water heater replacements in Little Pocket take 3-6 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of your installation. If we’re replacing a tank with a similar tank in the same location, it’s usually on the shorter end of that timeframe.
Tankless installations or situations requiring new gas lines, electrical work, or venting modifications take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we provide your estimate, so you know what to expect.
We bring everything needed to complete the job in one trip, including the new water heater, fittings, and any additional components. Our goal is to restore your hot water the same day, so you’re not inconvenienced any longer than necessary.
Water heater replacement costs vary based on the type of unit, installation complexity, and any necessary upgrades to your plumbing or electrical systems. Traditional tank replacements typically range from $1,200-$2,500 installed.
Tankless water heater installations cost more upfront – usually $3,000-$6,000 – but they last longer and save money on energy bills over time. If your home needs gas line or electrical upgrades, that adds to the total cost.
We provide upfront, written estimates that include all labor, materials, permits, and cleanup. No hidden fees or surprise charges. Many customers find our final bill is actually less than our initial estimate because we look for ways to work efficiently and save you money.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency water heater service throughout Little Pocket and Sacramento. When your water heater fails completely – especially during cold weather – we understand you need help fast.
We keep common water heater models in stock and can often complete emergency replacements the same day you call. Our emergency service includes the same upfront pricing and quality workmanship as our scheduled appointments.
If your water heater is leaking, making loud noises, or has stopped producing hot water entirely, don’t wait. Call us immediately – water heater emergencies can cause property damage if not addressed quickly, and we’re here to help prevent that.
Regular maintenance helps your new water heater last longer and run more efficiently. Traditional tank units should be flushed annually to remove sediment buildup, which is especially important in Sacramento’s hard water areas like Little Pocket.
The anode rod should be inspected every 2-3 years and replaced when it shows significant corrosion. This rod protects your tank from rust and extends its lifespan considerably. We also recommend checking the pressure relief valve and inspecting for any small leaks.
Tankless units need annual descaling to remove mineral deposits from the heat exchanger. This keeps them running efficiently and prevents damage from hard water buildup. We offer maintenance plans that take care of all these services automatically, so you don’t have to remember when they’re due.
