Water Heater Replacement and Installation
If your current water heater is more than 10 years old, requires frequent repairs, or is struggling to keep up with household demands, replacement may be the best long term solution. Installing a new system offers improved performance, better energy efficiency, and greater reliability.
Our replacement and installation services include:
- System sizing and household demand assessment

- Gas and electric system installation
- Removal of old equipment
- Final testing and setup
We guide homeowners through the selection process, comparing tank and tankless options to determine which system is best suited for their needs and budget. Our goal is to provide a smooth installation experience and ensure your new unit performs reliably from day one.
Water Heater Maintenance Services
Routine maintenance is one of the most effective ways to reduce breakdowns and extend the lifespan of your water heater. Maintenance also helps maintain efficiency, which can reduce monthly energy costs. Maintenance services may include:
- System inspection and performance evaluation
- Sediment flushing
- Safety checks
- Thermostat and burner adjustments

Santa Barbara homes often deal with mineral content and sediment that can accelerate tank wear. Maintenance helps control buildup and ensures your system continues to deliver hot water effectively.
