Complete Water Heater Services Parkway

Everything You Need, Done Right
Our water heater replacement service covers traditional tank units, tankless systems, gas and electric models, and hybrid water heaters. We work with all major brands and can recommend the best option for your specific situation and budget. In Parkway’s hard water environment, proper installation is crucial for maximizing your water heater’s lifespan. We include all necessary components like expansion tanks, proper venting, and code-compliant connections. Our installations meet or exceed all local building requirements. Every replacement includes hauling away your old unit, cleanup, and a thorough system test. We also provide maintenance recommendations to help your new water heater last 10-15 years instead of the 6-8 years typical in hard water areas without proper care.

How much does water heater replacement cost in Parkway, CA?

Water heater replacement costs in Parkway typically range from $1,600 to $2,400 for a standard 50-gallon unit, including installation. The exact cost depends on the type of water heater you choose, your home’s existing setup, and any additional work needed to meet current codes. Tankless water heaters cost more upfront but offer long-term energy savings. Gas units generally have higher installation costs than electric if you don’t already have gas lines, but lower operating costs over time. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair costs less than half of a replacement, fixing it usually makes financial sense. However, for units over 10 years old with major component failures, replacement often provides better long-term value. In Parkway’s hard water conditions, older water heaters often develop multiple issues simultaneously. Signs that replacement is your best option include rusty water, strange noises, frequent repairs, or significantly higher energy bills. Our technicians will honestly assess your situation and explain all your options without pressure to upgrade unnecessarily.
Most water heater replacements take 2-4 hours from start to finish. Simple tank-to-tank swaps with existing connections typically take 2-3 hours, while installations requiring new venting, gas lines, or electrical work can take 4-6 hours. We carry common parts and standard water heaters on our trucks, which means most installations are completed the same day. If your installation requires special parts or permits, we’ll explain the timeline upfront and can often provide temporary solutions to restore some hot water while waiting.
Yes, we install, repair, and service all types of tankless water heaters including gas and electric models from major manufacturers. Tankless units are increasingly popular in Parkway because they provide endless hot water and take up much less space than traditional tanks. However, tankless water heaters require regular maintenance in hard water areas to prevent mineral buildup that can cause system failures. We recommend annual descaling services to remove calcium deposits and keep your tankless system running efficiently for its full 20+ year lifespan.
We install all major water heater brands including Rheem, AO Smith, Bradford White, Noritz, Rinnai, and Navien. Rather than pushing one particular brand, we recommend the best option based on your specific needs, budget, and home setup. Different brands excel in different areas—some offer better warranties, others have superior energy efficiency, and some are better suited for hard water conditions. Our experience with various manufacturers helps us guide you toward the water heater that will provide the best long-term value for your situation.
