You shouldn't need an engineering degree to pick a water heater — but tank, tankless, heat pump, and solar all claim to be "the best," and picking wrong costs you for the next 20 years. Here's the shortcut: we install all four, so we have no reason to push the wrong one. Tell us how your family uses hot water, and we'll tell you straight which system fits — then install it right.
💰 Rebates are real money: up to $1,500 from SoCalGas on qualifying tankless installs and up to $2,500 from LADWP on qualifying heat pump water heaters, and up to $5,000 from SoCalGas on qualifying solar water heating — and we handle the paperwork. Ask what your home qualifies for →
No system wins every column. That's the point — the right choice depends on your home, your fuel, and your family.

Endless hot water from a unit the size of a suitcase, up to 50% lower gas bills, and a 20+ year lifespan. We were among the first factory-certified tankless installers in California — Noritz, Navien, Rinnai, and Bosch have all trained our crews.
The most efficient water heater you can buy — it moves heat instead of making it, using up to 3–4x less energy than a standard electric tank. California is pushing homes electric, and LADWP customers can get up to $2,500 back on a qualifying install.
Yes, we install them — and sometimes they're the right call. If your budget is tight, your tank just failed, or you're selling the home soon, a quality tank heater swapped in fast solves the problem. We'll never upsell you into a system you don't need.
Southern California gets 280+ days of sun a year — solar water heating turns that into the cheapest hot water you can make. We're licensed C-46 solar contractors in California and Nevada, so collectors and plumbing come from one accountable company. (Looking for solar panels/PV? See our solar energy page.)
A tankless-only company will tell you tankless. A solar company will tell you solar. We install all four systems — so the only thing we're selling is the right answer for your home. That's how we've kept customers for twenty years.
"We had our whole house repiped and a tankless water heater installed. As a licensed architect working for a large design/build general contractor, I was very impressed with this company — they showed up and followed through when other plumbers never did."— Stephanie W. · Yelp Review · Los Angeles, CA
