When your water heater fails, you need someone who shows up when they say they will and gets the job done right the first time. No more rationing hot water between family members or timing your showers around everyone else’s schedule.
A properly installed water heater means consistent hot water for your whole house, lower energy bills, and peace of mind knowing it won’t flood your basement. You’ll have hot water for dishes, laundry, and those long showers you actually deserve—without worrying about when the next breakdown will hit.
The right system, installed correctly, handles Placerville’s hard water conditions and temperature swings while delivering the performance your family depends on.
CG Plumbing has been serving Placerville and El Dorado County homeowners for years. We are the local team you call when you need honest work at fair prices.
We know the challenges of mountain living—from hard water issues to code requirements specific to the area. Our licensed technicians handle everything from emergency replacements to planned upgrades, and we stand behind every installation with solid warranties.
We are locally owned and insured, serving El Dorado, Sacramento, Placer, Nevada, and Amador counties in California with a commitment to providing reliable plumbing solutions for both residential and commercial clients.
The process starts with assessing your current setup and hot water needs. We evaluate your home’s plumbing, electrical, and gas connections to ensure safe installation that meets current codes.
Next, we help you choose between tank and tankless options based on your household size, usage patterns, and budget. Tank water heaters cost less upfront and work reliably for most Placerville homes, while tankless systems save space, last longer, and reduce energy costs.
Installation includes removing your old unit, connecting all plumbing and electrical or gas lines, testing the system, and explaining how everything works. We handle permits and inspections, ensuring your new water heater operates safely and efficiently from day one.

We install both traditional tank and modern tankless water heater systems in Placerville, CA. Tank systems store 40-80 gallons of heated water and provide reliable service for most households at lower upfront costs.
Tankless water heater installation offers unlimited hot water on demand, significant space savings, and 20+ year lifespans. These systems work especially well in Placerville’s climate, where energy efficiency matters during hot summers and cold winters.
Many Placerville homes were built decades ago, and we regularly install water heaters in older properties. We assess existing plumbing, electrical, and gas connections to ensure safe installation, handling any minor updates needed to meet current codes while working with existing systems.
Water heater sizing depends on your household size and usage patterns. A typical family of four needs a 40-50 gallon tank water heater or a tankless unit rated for 7-8 gallons per minute. Larger families or homes with multiple bathrooms may need bigger capacity.
We calculate your peak demand by considering simultaneous usage—like running the dishwasher while someone showers. The assessment ensures you get adequate hot water without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.
Placerville’s hard water and temperature variations also factor into sizing recommendations, as these conditions affect system efficiency and longevity.
Tank water heater installation in Placerville, CA typically costs between $875-$2,500 including equipment and labor. These systems are less expensive upfront and work with most existing plumbing setups.
Tankless water heater installation ranges from $2,500-$3,500 due to more complex installation requirements. While the initial investment is higher, tankless systems can reduce energy bills by 24-34% and last twice as long as tank systems.
The total cost depends on your home’s existing plumbing, electrical capacity, and whether gas line modifications are needed. We provide upfront quotes so you know exactly what to expect.
Absolutely. Many Placerville homes were built decades ago, and we regularly install water heaters in older properties. We assess your existing plumbing, electrical, and gas connections to ensure safe installation.
Sometimes older homes need minor updates to meet current codes, which we handle as part of the installation. Our experience with Placerville’s older housing stock means we know how to work with existing systems while ensuring your new water heater operates safely and efficiently.
Whether you’re upgrading from an old tank system or switching to tankless, we have the expertise to make it work in your older home.
Placerville’s hard water contains minerals that can build up inside water heaters, reducing efficiency and shortening lifespan. Tank systems need regular flushing to remove sediment buildup, while tankless systems require periodic descaling to prevent mineral deposits in the heat exchanger.
We recommend maintenance schedules based on your local water conditions. Homes with very hard water might benefit from more frequent service every 8-10 months instead of the standard annual maintenance.
We also help you choose systems that handle hard water better, such as units with built-in filtration or those designed for mineral-rich water conditions common in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency plumbing services throughout El Dorado County, including emergency water heater installation in Placerville, CA. When your water heater fails unexpectedly, we respond quickly to restore hot water to your home.
Emergency installations follow the same quality standards as planned replacements, with proper permits, code compliance, and thorough testing. We keep common tank sizes in stock to minimize wait times during emergencies.
While emergency service is available, we recommend replacing water heaters over 10 years old before they fail completely, which allows for better planning and often lower costs than emergency replacements.
We stand behind every water heater installation with comprehensive warranties covering both equipment and labor. Equipment warranties vary by manufacturer and model, typically ranging from 6-12 years for tank systems and up to 15 years for tankless units.
Labor warranties cover the installation work, ensuring any issues related to the installation process are resolved at no additional cost. We also provide ongoing service and maintenance to keep your system running efficiently throughout its lifespan.
All warranties are clearly explained before installation begins, and we maintain detailed service records to ensure warranty coverage remains valid throughout the equipment’s life.
