Watch For These Signs

When To Call Us

Don't wait until a small problem becomes a big one. If you notice any of these signs, give us a call for a free assessment.

Your unit is 10–12+ years old and starting to have issues
You're constantly running out of hot water
The tank is leaking from the bottom
Rust or corrosion is visible on the tank
Repair costs are adding up and replacement makes more financial sense
Your energy bills have gone up without a clear reason — an inefficient unit could be the cause

Permit Required: Water heater installations in California require a permit in most jurisdictions. We handle the permit process for you, ensuring your installation is fully code-compliant. This matters for your homeowner's insurance and when you eventually sell your home.

Customer Reviews

What our customers say

Contacted Ameer after noticing water heater leaking on a Saturday afternoon. Ameer gave me a fair price even with a discount, and said he could do the job the same day. He and Ramon arrived within 20 minutes of the call. The job was completed in less than 2 hours. Great work, very professional. He even added new valves at no cost. Took every safety/health precaution wearing gloves and masks the entire time and wiping down door handles upon leaving. I will definitely call Ameer for future plumbing needs.

Our water heater went out. They were quick to respond, cheapest quote out of 5 other places. Same day work done. Honest, and they take credit card as payment. Happy with the service and installation. All this during COVID-19. Thank you for warm showers again.
