Hot Water Heater Replacement
Don’t let an outdated or failing water heater disrupt your daily routine. HydroWorks Plumbing provides fast, expert replacements with energy-efficient options designed to save you money and keep the hot water flowing.
Types of Water Heaters We Install and Replace
Traditional Tank Water Heaters
Sometimes, the tried-and-true option is the best fit. Tank water heaters store a ready supply of hot water, making them a reliable choice for households or businesses with steady demand. While they require more space, newer models are designed with advanced insulation to minimize standby heat loss, making them more efficient than older units.
Tankless Water Heaters
If saving space and cutting energy use are your top priorities, a tankless water heater is an excellent upgrade. These systems heat water only when needed, eliminating the need for bulky tanks. Their compact size makes them perfect for smaller homes, apartments, or commercial properties where efficiency and space optimization matter.
Heat Pump Water Heaters
For the most eco-friendly option, heat pump water heaters use innovative technology to transfer heat from the surrounding air instead of generating it directly. This makes them highly energy-efficient while supporting San Francisco’s push for cleaner, greener living. At HydroWorks Plumbing, we help residents make the switch with access to valuable rebates and incentives:
CleanPowerSF Incentives – Reduce upfront costs with average savings of around $3,800 on a new heat pump water heater installation.
BayREN Rebates – Additional financial support for a wide range of energy-efficient upgrades, including water heaters, HVAC systems, and more.
San Francisco Climate Equity Hub – For qualifying low-income households, this program provides free electric heat pump water heaters, ensuring clean energy access across all communities.
