Antelope's Trusted Water Heater Experts

Local Plumbers Who Actually Answer

CG Plumbing has been serving Antelope and Sacramento County homeowners for over a decade. We built our company on a simple principle: show up when you say you will, fix the problem right the first time, and charge exactly what you quoted.

Every technician carries a California C-36 plumbing license and full insurance coverage. We understand Antelope’s hard water conditions and how they affect different water heater models. More importantly, we live and work in this community – your neighbors, not some distant corporate franchise.

When you call CG Plumbing, you’re working with plumbers who’ve probably fixed the same problem in your neighborhood before. We know which parts fail most often, which repairs actually last, and when replacement makes more financial sense than another band-aid fix.

Water Heater Repair Process

Simple Process, Reliable Results

First, you call and describe what’s happening with your water heater. We schedule a convenient time – often same-day – and provide a realistic arrival window we actually keep.

Our technician arrives with a fully stocked truck and diagnostic tools. We inspect your water heater, test all components, and identify the root cause of the problem. Before touching anything, we explain what’s wrong, what needs to be fixed, and provide an upfront price for the repair work.

Once you approve the repair, we get to work using quality parts designed for your specific water heater model. Most repairs complete within a few hours. We test the system thoroughly, clean up our work area, and walk you through what was fixed. You get a warranty on the repair work and advice on preventing future problems.

Everything Your Water Heater Needs

CG Plumbing handles every type of water heater repair Antelope homes require. Traditional tank units, tankless systems, gas and electric models – we’ve diagnosed and fixed them all. Common repairs include heating element replacement, thermostat issues, pilot light problems, and tank leaks.

Antelope’s hard water creates unique challenges that generic plumbing companies don’t always understand. Mineral buildup reduces efficiency and causes premature component failure. Our technicians know how to address these local conditions, extending your water heater’s life and improving its performance.

Every repair includes a thorough system inspection. If your water heater has reached the point where repairs no longer make financial sense, we’ll provide honest guidance about replacement options. You’ll never get pushed into unnecessary work or sold equipment you don’t need.

How much does water heater repair cost in Antelope?

Most water heater repairs in Antelope range from $200 to $600, depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple issues like a faulty thermostat or heating element typically cost $200-$350. More complex problems involving gas controls or tank replacement can reach $400-$600. CG Plumbing provides upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. We don’t charge extra for evenings, weekends, or diagnostic time – the quote you receive covers everything needed to restore your hot water.
If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair costs less than half of replacement, repair usually makes sense. For units over 10 years old, replacement often provides better long-term value, especially if you’ve had multiple repairs recently. We evaluate your specific situation honestly – we’ll never push replacement if repair is the smarter choice. We consider your water heater’s age, condition, energy efficiency, and repair history to provide genuine recommendations that save you money over time.
Most water heater repairs complete within 2-4 hours once our technician arrives. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat often take 1-2 hours. More involved repairs requiring multiple components or tank work can take 3-4 hours. Our trucks carry common parts for immediate repair, avoiding delays for parts ordering. If a special part is needed, we’ll provide a temporary solution when possible and schedule completion once the part arrives. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling, often same-day service.
Yes, we repair all major tankless water heater brands including Rinnai, Rheem, Navien, and Noritz. Tankless units require specialized diagnostic equipment and training that many plumbers lack. Common tankless repairs include descaling for hard water buildup, ignition system problems, and flow sensor issues. Antelope’s hard water is particularly tough on tankless systems, requiring regular maintenance that we provide. Our technicians carry tankless-specific tools and parts, enabling same-visit repairs for most problems.
We warranty all repair work for one full year, covering both parts and labor. If the same component fails within the warranty period, we return at no charge to make it right. This warranty covers the specific repair performed, giving you confidence in the quality of our work. For water heater replacement, we provide manufacturer warranties on the unit itself plus our own labor warranty. We stand behind every job and maintain detailed service records to honor warranty claims quickly and fairly.
Yes, we offer same-day water heater repair throughout Antelope when you call before 3 PM on weekdays. Emergency service is available seven days a week, including evenings and weekends. Our trucks stay stocked with common water heater parts to complete most repairs immediately. During busy periods, we prioritize complete water heater failures over partial problems, ensuring families without any hot water get fastest service. We provide realistic time estimates and call ahead when we’re on our way to your home.
