Water Heater Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your current setup and space constraints. We measure everything, check your gas or electrical connections, and determine what type of water heater works best for your home. You get upfront pricing before any work begins – no surprises.

Next, we handle the permits and code requirements. San Francisco has specific rules about water heater installations, and we make sure everything is done properly. You don’t have to navigate city bureaucracy or worry about inspections.

Then we install your new system. We remove your old water heater, properly dispose of it, and install the new one. We test everything to make sure it’s working correctly, clean up completely, and walk you through how your new system operates. You have hot water the same day, and you know exactly how everything works.

Complete Installation Service

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Your water heater installation includes removal and disposal of your old unit. We don’t leave you dealing with a 150-pound tank in your basement. We handle all the permits and inspections required by San Francisco building codes. You’re not making trips to city offices or waiting around for inspectors.

We bring the right equipment for tight spaces. Western Addition homes weren’t built with modern water heaters in mind, so we have the tools and experience to work in cramped quarters without damaging your property. We protect your floors, walls, and belongings during the installation.

You get a warranty on both the equipment and our installation work. If something goes wrong, we fix it. We also provide clear instructions on operating your new system and basic maintenance that keeps it running efficiently.

How long does water heater installation take in Western Addition homes?

Most installations take 2-4 hours, depending on your home’s setup and whether we’re switching fuel types. Older Western Addition homes sometimes have tight spaces or outdated connections that require extra time, but we can usually complete the job in a single visit. If we’re replacing a similar unit with standard connections, you’ll have hot water back the same day. More complex installations involving new gas lines or electrical work might take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront.

Do I need permits for water heater installation in San Francisco?

Yes, San Francisco requires permits for water heater installations, and we handle this process for you. The city wants to ensure installations meet current safety and efficiency codes, especially in older buildings. We pull the necessary permits, schedule inspections, and make sure everything passes. You don’t have to deal with city offices or worry about compliance issues. The permit cost is included in our upfront pricing, so there are no surprise fees later.

What size water heater do I need for my Western Addition home?

It depends on your household size and hot water usage patterns. A typical 2-3 person household needs a 40-50 gallon tank, while larger families might need 75+ gallons. However, Western Addition homes often have space constraints that affect sizing options. We assess your actual usage, available space, and existing connections to recommend the right size. Sometimes a tankless system makes more sense in tight spaces, even though the upfront cost is higher.

Can you install tankless water heaters in older Western Addition homes?

Yes, but it depends on your home’s gas line capacity and electrical setup. Tankless units require more gas flow than traditional tanks, so older homes sometimes need gas line upgrades. Electric tankless units need significant electrical capacity that many older homes lack. We evaluate your existing utilities and let you know what’s required. While tankless installation is more complex in older homes, it’s often worth it for the space savings and efficiency gains.

How much does water heater installation cost in Western Addition?

Installation costs vary based on the unit type, your home’s existing setup, and any additional work required. Standard tank replacements typically cost less than switching fuel types or installing tankless systems. Older Western Addition homes sometimes need additional work like gas line upgrades or new venting, which affects pricing. We provide upfront estimates after assessing your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.

What happens to my old water heater after installation?

We remove and properly dispose of your old water heater as part of our service. This includes draining the tank, disconnecting all utilities, and hauling it away from your property. We don’t leave you dealing with a heavy, bulky tank in your basement or garage. Old water heaters are recycled when possible, and we handle all disposal according to San Francisco regulations. This is included in your installation cost – no additional fees for removal and disposal.
