Water Heater Installation & Repair
From tank to tankless, we install, repair, and replace water heaters across Northern California. Same-day service available.
Your water heater is one of the hardest working appliances in your home. When it fails, you need a plumber who can diagnose the problem fast and get your hot water back. Ameca Plumbing has been installing and repairing water heaters across Esparto, Woodland, Davis, and all of Northern California for over 25 years.
Tank Water Heaters
Traditional tank water heaters store 40 to 80 gallons of hot water and deliver it on demand. They are reliable, affordable, and work well for most households. We install and service all major brands including Rheem, Bradford White, and AO Smith. Tank units typically last 8 to 12 years with proper maintenance, including annual flushing and anode rod checks.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless systems heat water on demand, eliminating standby energy loss and providing an endless supply of hot water. They take up less space, last 15 to 20 years, and can reduce your energy bill by 20 to 30 percent. We handle both gas and electric tankless installations, including the gas line and venting upgrades needed for proper operation.
Signs You Need Water Heater Service
Inconsistent water temperature is usually the first sign something is wrong. Other warning signs include rusty or discolored hot water, rumbling or popping noises from the tank, pooling water around the base, and a sudden spike in your energy bill. If your unit is over 10 years old and showing any of these symptoms, replacement is often more cost-effective than repair.
Professional Installation Matters
Improper water heater installation is a safety hazard and can void your warranty. Our licensed plumbers ensure every unit is installed to California plumbing code with correct venting, gas connections, seismic strapping, and temperature/pressure relief valve placement. We pull the permits and handle the inspection so you do not have to.
Water Heater Maintenance
Annual maintenance extends your water heater's lifespan and keeps it running efficiently. We flush sediment from the tank, test the T&P relief valve, inspect the anode rod, and check all connections for leaks. A 30-minute annual service visit can add years to your unit and prevent unexpected failures.
