Tank water heaters are still the most common choice for Inland Empire homes, and for good reason: they are reliable and well understood. Whether you need a repair or a replacement, we install and service gas and electric tank heaters in 30, 40, 50, 75, and 100-gallon sizes, and we are happy to help you pick the right fit.
Turn off the cold-water valve at the top of the heater. For a gas heater, turn the gas control to OFF; for an electric heater, switch off its breaker. Then call (909) 312-4516 any hour, or text (909) 247-6791 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. If you can’t stop the water there, shut off the main: here’s how.
Quick sizing rule for Inland Empire homes:
Bigger isn't always better. Oversizing wastes energy heating water you won't use. Undersizing means cold showers. We help you size it properly based on your actual household. One note: under federal efficiency rules, electric tanks over 55 gallons must be heat pump models, and gas tanks over 55 gallons must be high-efficiency (condensing) models, so 75- and 100-gallon tanks cost more than a simple size bump.
When water heats up, it expands. In a home with a pressure regulator or a check valve on the main line, that extra water has nowhere to go, so an expansion tank takes it in. Inside the tank is a cushion of air, and it only works when its air pressure matches your home’s water pressure.
Expansion tanks are pre-charged at the factory (commonly 40 PSI, depending on the brand), but many Inland Empire homes run 60 to 80 PSI. Installed straight out of the box, the tank fills with water and stops doing its job. That puts extra strain on the water heater, the relief valve and every fixture in the house.
Whenever an expansion tank goes in, we measure your home’s water pressure first and set the tank’s air charge to match. Most plumbers skip it. We never do.
