How long does water heater replacement take in East Palo Alto?

Most water heater replacements take 2-4 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new one, and testing all connections. Tankless installations or situations requiring significant plumbing modifications may take longer. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate before we start work. In most cases, you’ll have hot water restored the same day we arrive, assuming we start the job in the morning or early afternoon.

What's the average cost of water heater replacement in East Palo Alto?

Water heater replacement costs typically range from $1,200 to $3,500, depending on the type and size of unit you choose. Standard tank water heaters are less expensive upfront, while tankless units cost more initially but save money on energy bills long-term. We provide upfront pricing that includes the unit, installation labor, permits, and disposal of your old water heater. No surprise charges or hidden fees after we start the work.

Should I choose a tank or tankless water heater for my home?

Tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for most families, especially if you have predictable hot water usage patterns. Tankless units cost more initially but provide unlimited hot water on demand and last longer. For East Palo Alto homes, we often recommend tankless for smaller households or homes with limited space, and tank units for larger families with high simultaneous usage. We’ll assess your specific situation and usage needs to recommend the best option for your home and budget.

Do you handle permits and inspections for water heater installation?

Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections with East Palo Alto building officials. This is included in our service – you don’t pay extra for permit fees or inspection coordination. We ensure your installation meets all current local codes and safety requirements. Many homeowners don’t realize that water heater replacement requires permits, but it’s required by law and protects your investment. We take care of all the paperwork and scheduling so you don’t have to deal with city offices.

What warranty do you provide on water heater replacement?

We provide comprehensive warranty coverage that includes both the water heater manufacturer’s warranty on the unit itself and our own labor warranty on the installation work. Manufacturer warranties typically range from 6-12 years depending on the model you choose. Our labor warranty covers the installation work for one full year. If anything goes wrong with our installation work, we return to fix it at no charge. This gives you complete protection on your investment and peace of mind that the job was done right.

Can you replace my water heater the same day I call?

In many cases, yes – especially for standard tank water heater replacements. We stock common sizes and models on our trucks, so if you call in the morning, we can often complete the replacement the same day. Tankless installations or unusual sizes may require ordering specific units, which typically adds 1-2 days. We always prioritize emergency situations where families have no hot water. When you call, we’ll let you know exactly when we can restore your hot water based on your specific situation and our current schedule.
