Trusted Tank Water Heater Experts in San Francisco

In San Francisco, 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.

Garage installs get drain pans with proper drainage; interior installs get pans, leak alarms, and expansion
tanks.

Hillside properties and long plumbing runs often require higher BTU models to improve recovery times.

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

Common issues we solve for San Francisco homeowners include:

- Popping or rumbling noises indicate sediment buildup and the need for flushing or replacement.

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

- Insufficient hot water during peak usage is usually a sizing or recovery‑rate problem.

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

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.

- Swap aging shut‑off valves with full‑port ball valves for easier service and better reliability.

Every San Francisco 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.
