About Our Water Heater Replacement & Installation Service

When a tank starts leaking or a repair costs too much, it's time for a new water heater. Coco Plumbing Systems provides water heater replacement in California with code-required earthquake straps, proper venting, expansion tanks where needed and haul-away of the old unit.

Our water heater installation crews in California help you choose the right size and fuel type for your household, then install it cleanly — most standard swaps are finished the same day.

Water Heater Replacement & Installation FAQs

How long does water heater replacement take in California?

Most standard tank swaps take a few hours, and many are done the same day you call.

What size water heater do I need?

A typical 2–3 person home uses a 40-gallon tank; larger families often need 50 gallons or more. We size it to your usage.

Are earthquake straps required?

Yes. California requires water heaters to be seismically strapped, and we include it with every installation.

Should I switch to tankless?

It can save space and energy. See our tankless water heater installation page for the pros and cons.
