How We Diagnose & Solve the Issue

Inspection & Diagnosis: We evaluate your unit's age, check the tank base for cracks, verify gas line safety venting, and recommend the best replacement size or heat pump hybrid alternative.

Our Service Process: We drain and remove the old tank, install the new unit, hook up water, gas, and venting lines, add code-required seismic straps and expansion tanks, and test for leak-free operation.

Local Considerations in San Francisco

San Francisco building codes require strict seismic strapping for all water heaters. Additionally, tight utility spaces in basement flats or garages require proper gas venting layout and draft safety hood clearances.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a standard tank water heater last?

Most traditional tank water heaters last between 8 to 12 years. Regular maintenance, such as flushing out sediment buildup and replacing the anode rod, can help extend the life of the unit.

What size water heater does my home need?

A 2 to 3 person household typically needs a 40-gallon tank. Larger households with 4 or more people generally require a 50-gallon or larger tank to handle concurrent showers and laundry runs.

What are the seismic safety rules for water heaters in California?

California building codes mandate that all water heaters must be securely braced, anchored, or strapped to resist horizontal displacement during earthquakes. We install heavy-duty double straps on every tank.
