Water heater repair, replacement and installation for Novato homes, served from our San Rafael office.
Water heater repair in Novato usually begins with a simple question: is this a fix or a replacement? We serve Novato from our San Rafael office, and a licensed technician will look at the unit, explain what failed and give you a straight answer. Many problems can be repaired. When they cannot, we replace the unit. Same-day service is possible when the schedule allows.
For water heater replacement in Novato, we work with gas, electric and propane tanks, tankless water heaters and heat pump (hybrid) models. We also service solar water heaters. We are an authorized Rinnai dealer. We will help you choose the fuel type and size, then install it with the permit California requires and haul away the old unit if you like.
A water heater installation in Novato comes with a free estimate. Financing is available, and our rebate department helps with qualifying utility rebate applications. Senior and veteran discounts also apply to installs and repairs. Between problems, ask us about maintenance, which is the first step in the John Owens Way.
