You get a working system that handles your household’s demands, installed correctly the first time. That means consistent hot water for showers, dishes, and laundry without worrying about when it might quit on you again.
CG Plumbing is a locally owned and insured plumbing company serving Camanche North Shore and the surrounding El Dorado, Sacramento, Placer, Nevada, and Amador counties. We understand the unique challenges that lakeside properties face.
Seasonal homes, hard water conditions, and temperature fluctuations can wreak havoc on water heaters. We’ve seen it all in this area and know exactly what works and what doesn’t.
When you call us, you’re working with plumbers who live and work in your community—not a national chain that sends whoever’s available. Our team is fully vetted with background checks and drug testing, so you know who’s coming into your home.
First, we assess your current setup and hot water needs. Every home is different, and what works for your neighbor might not work for you. We measure your space, check your electrical or gas connections, and determine the right size unit for your household.
Next, we handle all the permits and code requirements. California has strict regulations for water heater installation, and we make sure everything meets current standards. You don’t have to worry about inspections or paperwork.
Then we install your new unit using quality parts and proper techniques. We test everything thoroughly before we leave, clean up the work area, and walk you through how to maintain your new system. You get hot water the same day, not weeks later.

We install both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems, depending on what makes sense for your home and budget. Tank units are reliable and cost-effective upfront, while tankless systems save space and reduce energy costs long-term.
For Camanche North Shore’s seasonal properties, we often recommend tankless systems because they’re less susceptible to damage from sitting unused. They don’t store water that can freeze or stagnate, and they take up less space in vacation homes.
Our installations include all necessary safety components—expansion tanks, earthquake strapping, proper venting, and code-compliant connections. We use quality brands that perform well in this area’s water conditions and climate. Every installation comes with upfront pricing, so you know exactly what you’ll pay before any work begins.
Water heater installation costs in Camanche North Shore typically range from $1,200 to $3,500, depending on the type of unit and installation complexity. A standard tank water heater replacement runs $1,200-$2,200, while tankless systems cost $2,500-$3,500 installed.
The price includes the unit, labor, permits, and all necessary components like expansion tanks and earthquake strapping required by California code. We provide upfront pricing before any work starts, so there are no surprises when the job is done.
Factors that affect cost include your home’s existing plumbing and electrical setup, the size of unit needed, and whether you’re upgrading from tank to tankless. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you an exact quote during our initial visit.
Yes, California requires permits for all water heater installations and replacements. This applies to both residential and commercial properties, whether you’re replacing an existing unit or installing a new one.
The permit ensures your installation meets current safety codes, protects you from liability issues, and keeps your homeowner’s insurance coverage valid. Without a proper permit, insurance companies can deny claims for water damage caused by faulty installations.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The permit cost is included in your installation quote, and we make sure everything passes inspection the first time. You don’t have to deal with building departments or worry about code compliance.
For Camanche North Shore properties, tankless water heaters often make more sense, especially for seasonal homes. Tankless units don’t store water that can freeze during winter months or develop problems from sitting stagnant when the property isn’t occupied.
Traditional tank water heaters work well for full-time residents who use hot water consistently. They’re less expensive upfront and provide a large reserve of hot water for multiple simultaneous uses like showers and dishwashers.
Tankless systems cost more initially but save money long-term through lower energy bills and longer lifespan. They also take up less space, which matters in smaller vacation homes. We’ll assess your usage patterns, occupancy schedule, and budget to recommend the best option for your specific situation.
Most water heater installations in Camanche North Shore take 3-6 hours for a standard replacement. If you’re upgrading from tank to tankless or need electrical or gas line modifications, it can take a full day.
Simple tank-to-tank replacements are fastest since we’re using existing connections and space. Tankless installations take longer because they require different mounting, venting, and often electrical upgrades to handle the higher power requirements.
We complete most installations in a single visit and restore your hot water the same day. For more complex jobs requiring permits or inspections, we schedule everything to minimize disruption to your routine. You won’t be without hot water for days while waiting for parts or return visits.
We install quality brands that perform well in Camanche North Shore’s water conditions and climate, including Rheem, AO Smith, Bradford White, and Navien. These manufacturers offer reliable units with good warranty coverage and local service support.
For tankless systems, we often recommend Navien and Rheem models because they handle hard water conditions well and have excellent customer support. For traditional tank units, AO Smith and Bradford White offer durable construction and competitive pricing.
We don’t push expensive brands when a mid-range model meets your needs perfectly. Our goal is matching you with the right unit for your usage patterns, budget, and property type. We explain the differences between brands and models so you can make an informed decision based on facts, not sales pressure.
Yes, we provide emergency water heater installation services in Camanche North Shore when your system fails unexpectedly. We understand that losing hot water isn’t just inconvenient—it disrupts your entire household routine.
We keep common water heater models in stock and can often provide same-day installation for emergency situations. Our emergency service covers evenings and weekends because water heaters don’t fail on a convenient schedule.
For true emergencies, we prioritize getting your hot water restored quickly over extensive shopping around for the perfect unit. We can install a reliable replacement immediately and discuss upgrades or different options later if needed. The important thing is getting your household back to normal as fast as possible.
