The right installation means years of reliable service and lower energy bills. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying upfront, and the work comes with our warranty on both parts and labor.
We serve Penryn and the surrounding Placer County area with honest, reliable plumbing services. We’re locally owned, licensed, and insured.

We install both traditional tank water heaters and modern tankless systems. Traditional units store 30-80 gallons of heated water and work well for households with high simultaneous demand.
Tankless systems heat water on demand, providing unlimited hot water while using up to 30% less energy. They’re especially popular in Penryn because they save space in older homes where storage is often limited.
For Penryn’s climate and typical home layouts, we’ll recommend the most efficient option for your specific needs. Many homeowners are choosing tankless systems as California moves toward more energy-efficient appliances, and we’re seeing increased interest due to upcoming changes in state regulations.
Most water heater installations in Penryn take 2-4 hours from start to finish. Traditional tank replacements typically take 2-3 hours when we’re swapping a similar unit in the same location.
Tankless installations can take 3-4 hours because they often require electrical upgrades or gas line modifications. If we’re converting from tank to tankless or changing fuel types, the installation may take longer due to additional plumbing and electrical work.
We always provide a time estimate during our initial assessment so you know what to expect. Most installations are completed the same day because we stock the parts and equipment needed for common installations.
Traditional tank water heater installations in Penryn typically cost $2,000-$3,500 including the unit and installation. Tankless systems range from $3,500-$6,000 depending on the model and installation complexity.
The higher upfront cost of tankless systems is often offset by energy savings over time. Tankless units can reduce your water heating costs by 20-30% monthly, and they typically last 15-20 years compared to 8-12 years for traditional tanks.
We provide upfront pricing for both options so you can make an informed decision based on your budget and long-term goals. Many Penryn homeowners find the space savings and efficiency of tankless systems worth the additional investment.
Yes, permits are required for water heater installations in Penryn because it’s located in Placer County, which follows California plumbing code requirements. The permit ensures the installation meets safety standards and local building codes.
We handle the permit process for you as part of our installation service. Permit fees typically range from $50-$200 depending on the type of installation and any additional work required.
Having the proper permits protects you if there are ever insurance claims or when you sell your home. It also ensures the installation is inspected by local authorities to verify it meets all safety requirements.
If your water heater is over 8-10 years old and having frequent problems, replacement usually makes more financial sense. Repair costs can add up quickly, and older units are less energy efficient.
For newer units with single issues like a faulty heating element or thermostat, repair is often the better choice. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest advice about the most cost-effective option.
Consider that newer water heaters are significantly more energy efficient. The monthly savings on your utility bills can help offset the replacement cost over time, especially with Penryn’s older homes that may have inefficient older units.
For traditional tanks, a 40-50 gallon unit typically serves 2-3 people, while 4+ person households usually need 60-80 gallons. The size depends on your household’s hot water usage patterns, not just the number of people.
Tankless systems are sized by flow rate rather than storage capacity. We calculate the gallons per minute needed based on simultaneous usage – like running a shower and dishwasher at the same time.
We’ll assess your specific usage patterns during our consultation. Factors like the number of bathrooms, whether you have a hot tub, and your laundry habits all influence the right size for your Penryn home.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency water heater service for Penryn residents. We understand that losing hot water isn’t something you can plan around, especially during colder months.
Our emergency service covers complete water heater failures, dangerous leaks that could cause property damage, and gas-related safety concerns. We stock common replacement units so we can often complete emergency installations the same day.
Emergency service does include additional fees for after-hours calls, but we’ll explain all costs upfront. Many situations that seem like emergencies can wait until regular business hours, and we’ll help you determine the urgency of your specific situation.
