Water Heater Repair and Installation
Diagnosing failing units and installing replacements sized for the home, to code. Hard water is the defining fact of water heaters in this valley — it is why units here rarely reach the life printed on the label.
Scale settles on the bottom of a tank and insulates the burner from the water above it. The burner runs longer, the steel gets hotter than it was designed to, and the tank fails early. Flushing a tank annually is genuinely worth the hour it takes here in a way it is not everywhere.
When a unit does need replacing, sizing matters more than brand. An undersized heater in a house with two teenagers is a complaint every morning; an oversized one is money spent keeping water hot that nobody uses. We size to the fixture count and how the house actually runs.
