The old unit can be hauled away. We are also an authorized Rinnai dealer for tankless installs, and our rebate department helps with qualifying utility rebate applications.

Not every problem needs a new tank. For water heater repair in Mill Valley we start by finding the cause, and we repair gas, electric, propane, tankless, heat pump and solar water heaters.
