Your water heater breakdown doesn’t wait for a convenient time. Neither do we. When your morning shower turns ice-cold or your dishwasher won’t heat up, you need hot water restored fast.
That’s exactly what you get with Murray Plumbing. Same-day service that gets your hot water flowing again, often within hours of your call. No more cold showers, no more waiting days for an appointment.
Beyond the immediate fix, we help you choose energy-efficient water heaters that can cut your utility bills significantly. With California’s energy costs hitting record highs, an efficient system pays for itself while keeping your family comfortable.
We’ve been serving Loomis and the surrounding El Dorado Hills area for over two decades. We know these neighborhoods, we understand the unique challenges of homes built in the late 1970s, and we’re the plumbers your neighbors trust.
Our team maintains a 4.7-star rating because we show up when we say we will, quote fair prices upfront, and get the job done right the first time. Many of our customers tell us the final bill was actually less than our original estimate.
We’re not the cheapest option in town, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in professional installation, quality equipment, and the peace of mind that comes with working with licensed, insured professionals who stand behind their work.
First, we assess your current situation and your household’s hot water needs. Whether it’s an emergency repair or a planned replacement, we explain what’s happening and what your options are – in plain English, not plumber jargon.
Next, we provide an upfront quote that covers everything: equipment, labor, permits, and cleanup. No surprises, no hidden fees. If you approve the work, we typically complete most water heater installations the same day.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly, walk you through your new system’s operation, and clean up completely. We also help you take advantage of available rebates – California offers up to $900 in instant savings on energy-efficient heat pump water heaters, and we handle the paperwork.
Ready to get started?
We handle every type of water heater service in Loomis. Emergency repairs when your system fails unexpectedly. Full replacements when repair costs don’t make sense. Preventive maintenance to extend your system’s life and catch problems early.
For Loomis homeowners, we’re seeing increased demand for tankless and heat pump water heaters. These systems make particular sense here because they handle our climate well and qualify for substantial California rebates. Heat pump units can be up to 7 times more efficient than traditional gas units, saving around $300 annually on energy bills.
We also specialize in homes built in the late 1970s and early 1980s – the majority of Loomis housing stock. We understand the unique plumbing configurations of these homes and can recommend the best water heater solutions for your specific setup and space constraints.
Most water heater installations in Loomis take 3-6 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new system, connecting all utilities, testing everything, and cleaning up completely.
The timeline can vary depending on your specific situation. If we’re switching from a traditional tank to a tankless system, it might take longer due to additional gas line or electrical work. If your installation location is tight or requires permit inspections, we factor that in.
We always give you a realistic timeframe upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. Most of our customers are surprised how quickly we complete the work while maintaining high quality standards.
California offers substantial rebates for energy-efficient water heaters installed in Loomis. Through the Golden State Rebates program, you can get up to $900 instant savings on qualifying heat pump water heaters.
The TECH Clean California program provides even larger incentives – starting at $1,100 for market-rate customers in Northern California, and up to $3,500 for income-qualified households. These rebates can be combined with federal tax credits for additional savings.
We handle all the rebate paperwork for you and apply instant discounts when available. The key is choosing qualifying equipment and using certified installers like us. We’ll help you navigate all available programs to maximize your savings.
If your water heater is over 10 years old and experiencing frequent problems, replacement usually makes more financial sense than continued repairs. This is especially true for Loomis homes with original equipment from the 1980s and 1990s.
Consider replacement if you’re facing expensive repairs like tank leaks, failed heat exchangers, or multiple component failures. Also consider it if your energy bills are climbing – newer efficient units can cut your water heating costs by 30-50%.
We provide honest assessments and explain your options clearly. Sometimes a simple repair gets you several more years of service. Other times, investing in a new efficient system saves you money immediately and gives you reliable hot water for the next 10-15 years.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency water heater service throughout Loomis. Water heater failures don’t wait for business hours – they happen on weekends, holidays, and in the middle of winter when you need hot water most.
Our emergency service includes rapid response for complete system failures, dangerous gas leaks, and major water leaks that could damage your home. We carry common replacement parts and can often restore your hot water the same day we’re called.
Emergency service rates are higher than regular appointments, but we’re transparent about pricing upfront. Many situations that seem like emergencies can actually wait until regular hours, and we’ll give you honest advice about what truly needs immediate attention versus what can wait.
Water heater sizing depends on your household size, usage patterns, and peak demand periods. A typical Loomis family of 2-3 people usually needs a 40-50 gallon tank or a mid-sized tankless unit rated for 6-8 GPM.
Larger families or homes with multiple bathrooms, hot tubs, or high-efficiency washing machines need bigger systems. We also consider your home’s plumbing layout – some Loomis homes benefit from multiple smaller units rather than one large central system.
The best approach is an on-site assessment where we evaluate your current usage, count fixtures, and understand your family’s hot water habits. Oversizing wastes energy and money. Undersizing leaves you with cold showers. We help you find the sweet spot that meets your needs efficiently.
Water heater installation costs in Loomis typically range from $1,200 to $3,500, depending on the type of system, complexity of installation, and any necessary upgrades to gas lines or electrical systems.
Basic tank water heater replacements usually fall in the $1,200-$2,000 range when we’re swapping similar units in accessible locations. Tankless installations cost more due to additional venting, gas line, or electrical work, typically $2,500-$3,500.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down equipment costs, labor, permits, and any additional work needed. Our quotes include everything – no surprise charges for “unforeseen” issues that experienced plumbers should anticipate. Many customers find our final bill is actually less than our original estimate.
