Heat pump water heater installation, repair and replacement for homes in Marin and Sonoma County. Instead of making heat directly, a heat pump water heater pulls heat from the surrounding air into the tank. Whether it fits your home comes down to space, electrical capacity and how much hot water your household uses, so that is where we begin.

Because the unit stores heated water in a tank, sizing matters. We help you choose between sizes such as 65 or 80 gallons, check the dedicated circuit and panel, and handle the installation. Our in-house rebate department helps with qualifying utility rebate applications. If a unit is already installed and the hot water is not holding up, we repair and maintain it too.

Our San Rafael office serves Marin towns such as Novato, San Anselmo and Ross. Our Santa Rosa and Petaluma offices serve Sonoma County. Comparing options? See our Water Heater Services, Tankless Water Heaters and Plumbing Services.

Sized and Installed for Your Household

A heat pump water heater works well only when it fits the space, the circuit and your hot water use. We check all three first.

  • Sizing based on your household and hot water demand, not a guess.
  • A look at your panel and circuit up front.
  • Our in-house rebate department helps with qualifying utility rebate applications.
  • Installation, replacement, repair and maintenance from one licensed company, California license #501853.
  • Maintain first, repair when needed, replace last.

When a Heat Pump Water Heater Needs a Technician

  • Hot water temperature swings up and down
  • An error message appears on the display
  • The unit runs much longer than it used to
  • You run out of hot water sooner than you expect
  • Water collects around the base of the unit
  • Unfamiliar noises while it runs
  • Maintenance has been skipped for a while

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does heat pump water heater installation cost?

Cost depends on the unit size, the installation space and whether the circuit or panel needs work. We look at your setup and give a free estimate on installations and replacements. Our in-house rebate department helps with qualifying utility rebate applications, and financing is available.

Do you repair heat pump water heaters?

Yes. We repair and maintain heat pump water heaters. Temperature swings, error messages, longer run times, noises and water around the unit are all reasons to call. We diagnose first, then explain whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.

Can a heat pump water heater replace my existing water heater?

In many homes, yes. Space, electrical needs and installation conditions vary, so we evaluate your home before recommending a unit. We also install tankless and other water heaters if a heat pump model is not the right fit. Call us to talk through your setup.

Will I need to upgrade my electrical panel?

Most heat pump water heaters need a dedicated electrical circuit. We check your panel and tell you what, if anything, has to change.

Do heat pump water heaters run out of hot water?

They can. They store heated water in a tank, just like a traditional gas tank water heater, so a unit that is too small for your household can run short. Choosing a unit sized to your hot water demand helps prevent it, and we help you size it.
