Water Heater Replacement Process Explained

Straightforward Process, Zero Surprises

We start by looking at your current setup and talking through your hot water needs. How many people shower in the morning? Do you run the dishwasher and washing machine at the same time? This helps us size your new system correctly.

Next, we explain your options—traditional tank, tankless, or hybrid systems—with real numbers on what each costs upfront and monthly. No pressure, just facts so you can decide what works for your situation and budget.

Then we handle everything: permits, installation, testing, and cleanup. We remove your old unit, connect the new one properly, and make sure it’s working perfectly before we leave. You’ll have hot water the same day, guaranteed.

We install traditional gas and electric water heaters, tankless systems, and hybrid heat pump models. Whatever fits your home’s setup and your family’s needs, we handle it professionally.

Many Camino homes were built in the 1970s, which sometimes means upgrading electrical panels or gas lines during water heater installation. We take care of all necessary improvements to ensure your new system operates safely and efficiently.

Every installation includes proper permits, code compliance, and thorough testing. We dispose of your old water heater responsibly and clean up completely. Your manufacturer warranty stays valid because we follow all installation requirements exactly.

Our work comes with our own guarantee too. If something isn’t right with the installation, we come back and fix it at no charge.

How quickly can you replace a water heater in Camino?

Most water heater replacements take 3-4 hours from start to finish. We remove your old unit, install the new system, connect everything properly, and test it thoroughly. If your home needs electrical or gas line upgrades—common in Camino’s older houses—the job takes 5-6 hours total. We’ll tell you upfront if additional work is needed and exactly how long it will take. For emergency situations, we often provide same-day service. Your hot water gets restored as quickly as possible, usually within hours of your call.
The right size depends on your household’s peak hot water demand, not just how many people live there. We calculate based on your busiest usage times—like when everyone showers before work and school. Most Camino families do well with 40-50 gallon traditional tanks or properly sized tankless units. Larger homes with multiple bathrooms often need 50-80 gallon systems for consistent performance. Tankless systems size differently based on flow rate and how much the water temperature needs to rise. We’ll assess your specific usage patterns and recommend the most efficient option for your situation.
Both work great in Camino, but the best choice depends on your hot water habits and budget. Tankless costs more upfront but saves space and provides endless hot water on demand. Traditional tanks cost less initially and work perfectly for families with predictable usage patterns. They’re also simpler to maintain and less expensive to repair if problems develop later. Sometimes your home’s existing setup makes one option more practical. We’ll explain which system works best for your specific situation and give you honest advice about costs and benefits.
Water heater replacement typically costs $1,200-$3,500 in Camino, depending on the system type and any necessary upgrades. Basic tank replacements usually run $1,200-$1,800 fully installed. Tankless systems generally cost $2,500-$3,500 including professional installation. High-efficiency models fall somewhere between these ranges. Additional electrical or gas work adds to the total when needed. We give you exact pricing before starting any work. No hidden fees or surprise charges—just upfront, honest pricing for quality installation that’s done right.
Yes, we install and service all major brands including Rheem, Bradford White, AO Smith, Navien, and others. We’ll work with whatever brand you prefer or recommend models based on your needs and budget. Our technicians stay current on all manufacturer requirements and warranty procedures. This keeps your warranty valid and ensures you get proper service if issues come up down the road. We stock common parts for most brands, which helps us complete repairs quickly when possible instead of requiring full replacement. This saves you money when a repair makes sense.
We provide emergency service for Camino residents when water heaters fail completely or create safety hazards. If your unit is leaking significantly or producing no hot water at all, call us immediately. For true emergencies—major leaks, gas odors, or safety concerns—we can often respond the same day, even on weekends. Non-emergency issues typically get scheduled for the next business day. We’ll walk you through safely shutting off water and power if needed while we arrange service. Our priority is preventing property damage and restoring your hot water as quickly as possible.
