Comprehensive Water Heater Services in Hermosa Beach
Your water heater is a critical appliance, and when it malfunctions, it impacts daily life. We provide a full range of services to address any issue, ensuring you have access to hot water when you need it most.
Prompt Water Heater Repair
A broken water heater doesn't just mean no hot water; it can also lead to leaks, energy waste, and potential property damage. If you're experiencing any of these common signs, it's time to call for Water Heater Repair:
- No Hot Water: The most obvious sign. Could be pilot light issues, thermostat problems, or a heating element failure.
- Insufficient Hot Water: Your hot water runs out too quickly. This might indicate a failing heating element, sediment buildup, or a unit that's too small for your needs.
- Strange Noises: Gurgling, popping, or rumbling sounds often point to sediment buildup in the tank.
- Leaks: Water pooling around the base of the tank is a serious sign that requires immediate attention to prevent water damage.
- Discolored or Smelly Water: Rusty water suggests corrosion inside the tank, while sulfur smells can indicate bacteria growth.
Our experienced technicians can quickly diagnose the problem with your gas, electric, or tankless water heater and provide efficient repairs to restore your hot water supply. We prioritize emergency situations and offer same-day service whenever possible to minimize disruption to your home.
Water Heater Installation & Replacement
Is your water heater old, inefficient, or constantly breaking down? Replacement might be the most cost-effective long-term solution. The average lifespan of a traditional tank water heater is 10-15 years, while tankless units can last 20 years or more with proper maintenance. If your unit is nearing the end of its life or requires frequent, costly repairs, upgrading can save you money on energy bills and provide more reliable performance.
Choosing a new water heater involves considering factors like fuel type (gas, electric, heat pump), size, and efficiency. Our team can help you assess your hot water needs and recommend the best type and size of unit for your Hermosa Beach home.
Navigating the California Gas Water Heater Ban:
California regulations are phasing out new gas water heater installations, with a ban on sales of new natural gas furnaces and water heaters starting in 2027. This means that when your current gas water heater needs replacement in the coming years, you'll likely need to consider electric alternatives.
We are well-versed in the latest energy-efficient options available and can guide you through transitioning to a compliant system. Electric Heat Pump Water Heaters (also known as hybrid water heaters) and Electric Tankless Water Heaters are excellent choices that offer significant energy savings, reduced carbon footprint, and reliable hot water, aligning with future regulations while benefiting your household today.
We provide expert Water Heater Installation & Replacement services, ensuring your new unit is installed correctly and safely according to local codes.
Essential Water Heater Maintenance
Regular maintenance is key to extending the life of your water heater, preventing unexpected breakdowns, and ensuring it operates efficiently. One of the most crucial maintenance tasks is flushing the tank. Over time, sediment builds up at the bottom of traditional tank water heaters, reducing efficiency, potentially causing corrosion, and even leading to premature failure.
A professional water heater flush removes this sediment, allowing the heating element or burner to work more efficiently, preventing noises, and protecting the tank lining. We recommend annual maintenance, including a flush, for most tank water heaters.

Understanding Your Water Heater
Understanding the basics of your water heater can help you recognize problems early and make informed decisions about service or replacement.
- Tank Water Heaters: Store and heat a large volume of water in a tank. Available in gas, electric, and heat pump models. Generally lower upfront cost but can be less energy-efficient than tankless.
- Tankless Water Heaters: Heat water on demand as it flows through a heat exchanger, providing a continuous supply of hot water. More energy-efficient than tank models but have a higher upfront cost. Available in gas and electric.
- Electric vs. Gas: The fuel source impacts operating costs, installation requirements, and compliance with regulations like the upcoming California ban on new gas installations.
The cost of water heater services in Hermosa Beach can vary depending on the type of service needed (repair vs. replacement), the type and size of the unit, the complexity of the installation (e.g., upgrading from tank to tankless, relocating the unit), and any necessary code upgrades or permits. We provide transparent assessments and options before beginning any work.
Exploring energy-efficient options like heat pump water heaters may also qualify you for local, state, or federal rebates and incentives, helping to offset the initial investment. Our team can provide information on potential rebate opportunities.
