Our Water Heater Installation Services

We offer comprehensive installation services for a wide range of water heater types, ensuring we can meet the specific needs and preferences of your Temecula home:

Conventional Tank Water Heater Installation: Ideal for many homes, tank water heaters store and heat a reservoir of water, providing readily available hot water. We install gas and electric models.
Tankless Water Heater Installation: Get hot water on demand and save energy with a tankless system. We specialize in installing both gas and electric tankless units, offering continuous hot water supply.

We assess your home's existing setup, hot water usage, and budget to recommend the most suitable and efficient water heater solution.

Choosing the Right Water Heater for Your Temecula Home

Selecting the best water heater involves considering several factors specific to your household and property. Our team helps you navigate these choices:

Sizing: Proper sizing is crucial. For tank units, this involves calculating peak hour demand. For tankless units, it's about required flow rate (GPM) and temperature rise. We'll help you determine the right capacity or flow rate to ensure you never run out of hot water, even during peak usage times.
Tank vs. Tankless:
Tank: Lower initial cost, easier replacement, reliable hot water reservoir. Takes up more space, heats water constantly (standby energy loss), limited supply size.
Tankless: Energy efficient (heats only on demand), provides continuous hot water, longer lifespan, saves space. Higher initial cost, requires adequate gas line/electrical capacity, can have flow rate limitations if not sized correctly.

We'll discuss the pros and cons relevant to your Temecula home's layout and hot water habits.

Fuel Type: Consider the available energy sources in your home (natural gas, propane, or electricity) and their costs to determine the most economical option.
Energy Efficiency: Look for Energy Star® certified models, which can help reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills. We can also inform you about potential state or local rebates available for high-efficiency water heaters.

Understanding Temecula Water Heater Permits & Regulations

Installing a water heater in Temecula often requires obtaining a permit from the City of Temecula. This is not just a formality; it's a crucial step to ensure the installation meets safety standards and local building codes, protecting your home and your family.

AiRight understands the local permitting process. We can assist you in navigating the requirements and ensure your new water heater installation is fully compliant with Temecula regulations. Our professional installation ensures your system will pass any necessary inspections.

Signs You Need a New Water Heater

Don't wait for a complete failure to consider replacement. Watch out for these common signs that your water heater is nearing the end of its life or needs professional attention:

Age: Tank water heaters typically last 10-15 years, while tankless units can last 20 years or more. If yours is approaching or past its average lifespan, it might be time.
Leaks: Water pooling around the base of the heater often indicates a tank leak, which is usually irreparable.
Noises: Rumbling, popping, or knocking sounds can signal sediment buildup inside the tank, reducing efficiency and lifespan.
Rusty or Discolored Water: This can indicate rust inside the tank or on the anode rod, potentially leading to leaks.
Insufficient Hot Water: If your hot water runs out quickly or isn't as hot as it used to be, the heating element may be failing, or the unit may be undersized.
Rising Energy Bills: An aging or inefficient unit may consume more energy to heat water.

Maintain Your Investment

Once your new water heater is installed, proper maintenance is key to maximizing its lifespan and efficiency. Simple steps like setting the thermostat correctly and visually checking for leaks can help. However, professional maintenance, such as flushing the tank (for tank units) or cleaning filters (for tankless units) and checking the anode rod, is crucial and should be done periodically by a qualified plumber.

AiRight sent Gustavo Lizarraga to resolve a shower drain issue which required going down into the crawl space under the house. Gustavo corrected shower and bathtub ABS sewer line piping and replaced an internally corroded piece of vertical cast iron pipe. Gustavo was polite and efficient, provided detailed pictures of his work and the piece of cast iron pipe he removed. Gustavo is an excellent plumber.

My AC stopped blowing out cold air. I had another big company come out to take a look they spent 1 hour doing diagnostics and charged me $110 just for looking and wanted to charge me $8100 for the repair and I felt like I was being swindled so I called AiRight cooling for a second opinion and they sent out Jackie who took 15 minutes to figure out the problem and fixed it for $650. Jackie was professional, efficient and most of all honest. I just saved $7500!! Thanks to Jackie from Airight Cooling
