Tankless water heater installation services in progress in San Rafael, CA

When it comes to water heaters, there are several types to consider. The most common type is the storage tank water heater, which stores a large tank of water and heats it continuously. While these water heaters are easy to install and have a low upfront cost, they can be less energy-efficient and run out of hot water if too much is used too quickly.

We also offer tankless water heaters, which heat water on demand, saving energy and providing hot water when you need it. Our team of experienced technicians can help you choose the right water heater for your home and install it quickly and efficiently. We specialize in installing and servicing tankless and heat pump water heaters, which are highly energy-efficient and can help you save money on your energy bills.

In California, and particularly in the Marin, Sonoma and Napa Valley area, electrification is becoming more and more common in the water heating space, with the use of heat pump water heaters. Ask us today how we can help you with the conversion to a heat pump or electric system.

In addition to installation, our team can also provide water heater repair services for all types of water heaters, including storage tank, tankless, heat pump, and solar water heaters. Whether you're experiencing a lack of hot water, leaks, or other issues, our team has the expertise to diagnose and repair the problem quickly.

Living in the Marin area of California, we know that many homeowners are interested in energy-efficient solutions for their homes. That's why we specialize in installing and servicing heat pump water heaters. These systems work by extracting heat from the surrounding air and using it to heat water, making them a highly energy-efficient option. Our team can help you choose the right heat pump water heater for your household and install it to ensure maximum efficiency. We can even help with the rebates!

Water heater Types

  • Storage Tank Gas Water Heaters: These water heaters store a large tank of water that is continuously heated by a gas burner. They are a common and affordable option, but can be less energy-efficient than other types, as heat is lost through the tank walls when the water is not in use.


  • Tankless Water Heaters: Also known as on-demand water heaters, these systems heat water directly as it flows through the unit, rather than storing hot water in a tank. They are highly energy-efficient, as they only heat water when it is needed, but may have a higher upfront cost and may struggle to keep up with high demand for hot water.


  • Electric/Heat Pump Water Heaters: These water heaters use electricity or a heat pump to heat water. They are highly energy-efficient and can help reduce energy bills, but may have a higher upfront cost and take longer to heat water compared to gas-powered options. These are common when there is no gas available or maybe you just want to become more energy efficient.


  • Boiler/Combi Boiler: In addition to traditional water heaters, hot water can also be generated through the use of a boiler or combi boiler. These systems heat water using a different method than traditional water heaters. Rather than storing and heating a large tank of water, a boiler heats water on demand and circulates it through your home's pipes. Combi boilers can heat both your home and provide hot water from a single unit, making them a popular choice for small to medium-sized homes. Our team of experts at Local Plumbing can help you choose the right boiler or combi boiler for your home and provide expert installation and repair services to ensure you have access to reliable hot water whenever you need it.

 

Ultimately, the best type of water heater for your home will depend on your household's needs, budget, and energy efficiency goals. Our team at Local Plumbing can help you choose the right water heater for your home and provide expert installation and repair services.
