FAQs
Can you really replace or install a tank-style water heater the same day I call in Delano?
Yes. Because our warehouse is stocked with 30-, 40-, 50- and 75-gallon gas and electric models, we can dispatch a licensed plumber to your Delano address within 60–90 minutes and complete most replacements or new installs the very same day. As long as you contact us before 2 p.m., we guarantee hot water is restored before the night is over.
What kinds of tank water heaters do you service or install?
We handle all major brands (Bradford White, Rheem, A.O. Smith, State, and more) in both natural gas and electric configurations. High-efficiency, low-NOx, direct-vent, mobile-home and hybrid heat-pump tanks are also available. If you’re unsure of your existing unit’s specs, just text us a photo of the rating plate and we’ll identify the right replacement on the spot.
What is included in your same-day tank water heater service?
The flat-rate price covers: delivery of the new heater, shut-off and safe removal of the old tank, haul-away recycling, installation of new flex water lines, gas or electric reconnect, temperature/pressure relief valve, drip leg or sediment trap, seismic strapping (per California code), and a complete start-up test. A code-required thermal expansion tank or earthquake stand is added only if your current setup lacks one.
Do I need a permit or city inspection for a water-heater replacement in Delano?
Yes. Kern County and the City of Delano require a plumbing permit for any water-heater replacement. We obtain the permit on your behalf, schedule the inspection, and provide the final sign-off paperwork for your records. Permit fees are itemized on your invoice so you see exactly what the city charges.
How much does a same-day tank water heater replacement usually cost?
Prices start at $1,250 for a standard 40-gallon natural-gas model installed in a garage and range upward for larger capacities, electric units, attic or closet locations, and any code upgrades. Our technician will give you a written, no-obligation quote on site before work begins, and we honor that quote—no surprise add-ons.
What can I do to make my new tank water heater last longer?
1) Drain a few gallons from the tank every six months to flush sediment common in Delano’s hard water. 2) Have us replace the anode rod every 3–5 years. 3) Keep the thermostat at 120 °F to reduce scaling. 4) Install a whole-home water softener or scale inhibitor if you notice heavy mineral buildup. Following these steps can push a 6-year-warrantied heater to 10 years or more of reliable service.
