Reliable Hot Water with Tank Systems in Burlingame

In Burlingame, traditional tank water heaters remain a cost‑effective, dependable way to deliver steady hot
water. Our licensed plumbers right‑size systems for your fixtures, lifestyle, and available space, then
install to California Plumbing Code.

Many condos and townhomes have limited utility closets, so compact, high‑recovery tanks make sense.

Large households with multiple bathrooms may need 75‑gallon tanks or recirculation to prevent cold‑water
delays.

Older bungalows and mid‑century homes benefit from code upgrades like seismic strapping and new shut‑offs.

Common issues we solve for Burlingame homeowners include:

- Discolored or rusty hot water can signal a failing anode rod or tank corrosion.

- Visible leaks or moisture near the base of the tank often mean the tank shell has failed.

- Intermittent hot water points to thermostat, gas control, or pilot assembly issues.

- Unstable water pressure and temperature swings can be reduced with expansion tanks and mixing valves.

To improve performance and reliability, we often recommend:

- Annual flushing removes sediment, protecting heating elements and improving overall performance.

- Insulating hot water lines helps maintain temperature to distant fixtures and reduces energy loss.

- Upgrading to high‑recovery gas models reduces wait times and improves comfort for busy households.

Every Burlingame install includes clear pricing, permits when required, and careful cleanup. We handle
haul‑away of your old unit, test safety devices, and walk you through operation so you know exactly how your
system works.

When to Repair vs. Replace a Tank Water Heater in Burlingame

Not sure whether to repair or replace your Burlingame tank water heater? Watch for these signs:

- Upsizing during replacement can solve chronic ‘running out of hot water’ complaints.

- If the tank is under 8 years and the issue is minor, a targeted repair can extend service life.

- Code upgrades like seismic straps, pans, and expansion tanks are included during replacement.

- Frequent resets or recurring pilot outages indicate deeper control problems worth replacing.

- Leaks from the tank body typically mean replacement — patching is not safe or effective.

If two or more of these apply, replacement in Burlingame is usually the most cost‑effective path, especially
for older units.
