When your water heater goes out, you don’t have time to wait around for a slow or overpriced company. At Peninsula Water Heaters, we specialize in fast, affordable, and reliable replacement water heater installations throughout the Bay Area.
Why You Might Need a Replacement Water Heater
If your water heater is showing signs of wear, acting quickly can save you from a bigger headache later. In this section, we’ll walk through the most common reasons people call us for a replacement water heater.
Signs Your Current Unit Is Failing
When your hot water runs out too quickly, or you start hearing banging or popping sounds, those are clear signs your water heater is on its last leg. Other red flags include discolored water, poor water pressure, or unusually high energy bills—these issues often mean the tank or heating element is failing. A replacement water heater can restore your home’s comfort and efficiency.
Age and Efficiency Factors to Consider
Most water heaters last between 8 to 12 years. Once your unit hits the 10-year mark, you’re likely losing efficiency, even if it still works. Older units cost more to operate, and a replacement water heater can cut down your monthly gas or electric bill.
How Leaks and Rust Signal Replacement Time
A puddle near the base of your water heater or rust-colored water from your taps usually points to internal tank damage. Once corrosion sets in, the unit is beyond repair. A replacement water heater is your best bet before serious water damage occurs.
Why Delaying Replacement Can Cost You More
Postponing a replacement water heater can lead to water damage, mold issues, and unexpected emergency calls. In many cases, homeowners wait too long and end up paying far more in repairs than they would for a simple installation. We encourage early action to avoid costly surprises.
Our $1600 Replacement Water Heater Package
Peninsula Water Heaters makes it easy and affordable to get a new unit installed the right way. Our flat $1600 offer covers everything you need for a basic replacement water heater in your garage or existing location.
What’s Included in the Price
For $1600, you get a brand-new 40-gallon Bradford White gas water heater, professional installation, and haul-away of your old unit. We also include all standard fittings and connectors, giving you a complete replacement water heater experience without surprise charges. Optional parts like earthquake straps or new shutoff valves are available if needed, at additional cost.
Same-Day Installation at No Extra Charge
We don’t charge extra for nights, weekends, or same-day jobs. That means when your hot water is gone, we can usually have a replacement water heater up and running in just hours. You won’t have to go a night without hot water.
Professional Removal and Recycling of Your Old Unit
We responsibly remove and recycle your old water heater so you don’t have to lift a finger. It’s all part of our $1600 offer. A proper replacement water heater job includes cleanup and disposal.
6-Year Warranty on Parts and Labor
Every replacement water heater installation includes a 6-year warranty that covers both parts and labor. If anything goes wrong, we’ll fix it—no hidden fees, no runaround. This gives our customers true peace of mind.
Choosing the Right Replacement Water Heater
With so many options out there, knowing what’s right for your home can be confusing. Here’s how we help you make the best decision when it’s time for a replacement water heater.
Why We Recommend Bradford White Units
We only install Bradford White because they’re built to last and made in the USA. Their reliability and consistent performance make them the top choice for a replacement in Bay Area homes. We’ve seen them outlast competitors year after year.
Garage vs. Indoor Installations
Most homes in San Mateo County have water heaters in the garage, but some are tucked inside closets or utility rooms. We can install yourwater heater in either location, though extra materials might be needed indoors. We always inspect and explain any extra work before we begin.
Tank Size Considerations for Your Household
A 40-gallon unit works for most families of 2–4 people. If your household is larger or uses a lot of hot water, we may suggest a 50-gallon water heater. We’ll help you choose the right size based on your daily use.
Gas vs. Electric Options
While gas heaters are more common in the Bay Area, electric models are sometimes better for certain homes or energy goals. We’ll guide you on the pros and cons based on your setup. Either way, we’ll install a replacement water heater that meets your needs.
