Complete Water Heater Replacement

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Your water heater installation includes everything you need to get hot water flowing again. We handle the removal and disposal of your old unit, all necessary permits, and installation that meets Foster City building codes.

We work with both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems. If you’re dealing with limited space or want better energy efficiency, we can walk you through the benefits of going tankless.

Every installation comes with our workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer’s warranty on the unit itself. If something goes wrong with our work, we come back and make it right at no charge.

How long does water heater installation take in Foster City?

Most water heater installations take 2-4 hours from start to finish. If you’re replacing a standard tank with another standard tank in the same location, we’re usually done in about 2 hours. Tankless installations or situations requiring new venting or electrical work can take up to 4 hours. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your specific situation, and we always clean up completely before we leave.

What's the cost of water heater installation in Foster City?

Water heater installation costs vary based on the type of unit and your home’s setup. Standard tank replacements typically range from $1,200-$2,500 including the unit and installation. Tankless systems run $2,500-$4,500 depending on capacity and whether gas lines or electrical upgrades are needed. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know the exact cost with no surprises or hidden fees added later.

Do you offer same-day water heater installation service?

Yes, we offer same-day water heater installation for most situations in Foster City. We keep common water heater sizes in stock and can usually have your hot water restored within hours of your call. Emergency situations get priority scheduling. The only time same-day isn’t possible is when your installation requires permits or significant plumbing modifications, but we’ll let you know that upfront and get you scheduled for the earliest possible date.

Should I choose a tankless or traditional water heater for my Foster City home?

It depends on your space, usage patterns, and budget. Tankless water heaters save space and provide endless hot water, making them great for Foster City’s smaller lots and busy families. They’re more expensive upfront but last longer and reduce energy costs. Traditional tanks cost less initially and are simpler to install, but take up more space and can run out of hot water during peak usage. We’ll assess your specific needs and help you choose what makes the most sense for your situation.

Are you licensed for water heater installation in Foster City?

Yes, we are fully licensed and insured to perform water heater installations throughout Foster City and San Mateo County. We pull all necessary permits and ensure every installation meets local building codes and manufacturer specifications. Our technicians are trained on the latest installation techniques and safety requirements. Being properly licensed protects you and ensures your installation won’t cause issues with insurance or when you sell your home.

What warranty comes with your water heater installation work?

We provide a comprehensive warranty on our installation workmanship, plus you get the full manufacturer’s warranty on the water heater unit itself. If there’s any issue with our installation work, we return at no charge to make it right. The manufacturer’s warranty typically covers the tank for 6-12 years depending on the model you choose. We’ll explain all warranty details before installation and help you with any warranty claims if needed down the road.
