Water Heater Installation in Palm Springs, California

Professional Water Heater Installation

Are you building a new home in Palm Springs? Perhaps you’re looking to upgrade from a tank water heater to a tankless model. No matter the reason you need water heater installation, we’ll make sure the process goes smoothly.

Here are the steps we take:

Choose a fuel source: Electric water heater installation and natural gas water heater installation are the most common types, but other options include propane, oil, geothermal energy, and solar power.

Pick a style: A traditional storage water heater may be best, but to enhance efficiency and energy savings, consider a tankless water heater installation. Our team can help you weigh the pros and cons, so you make the right choice for your family.

Size your water heater: Proper sizing is important to ensure you have enough hot water when you need it, but you don’t pay more than necessary for your water heating bills.

Consider the efficiency rating: High-performance water heaters often require a greater upfront investment, but the resulting energy savings could be worth it.

Perform the installation: Installing a water heater is not a do-it-yourself job. To ensure optimal safety and energy efficiency, leave the task to our technicians.

Water Heater Replacement

Unless your water heater fails catastrophically, it can be difficult to tell when you should replace it.

Here are some signs that it’s time to start comparing your replacement options:

Old age: With proper maintenance, a traditional storage water heater lasts about 10 years, while tankless models last up to 20 years. Once your water heater reaches the end of its predicted life span, consider replacing it before it fails.

Poor water quality: Be wary of rust-colored, metallic-tasting water coming from the tap. If only the hot water seems to be affected, your water heater could be to blame.

Water heater problems: Cold showers are no fun, even in the desert heat. If you run out of hot water, notice strange noises coming from the appliance, or see puddles around the tank, these are signs that a replacement may be on the horizon.

Ongoing repairs: Have you already paid to fix your ailing water heater more than once this year? Stop throwing good money at bad and consider replacing it the next time it breaks down.

Don’t ignore these signs of imminent water heater failure! With help from General Air Conditioning & Plumbing, you can skip the inconvenience of an emergency water heater replacement. Contact us today to begin the process.

Water Heater Installation FAQ

You may need to have a new water heater installed if your water heater is aging (10-15 years in service), leaking, not providing enough hot water, or otherwise compromising your home comfort. Annual professional maintenance is the best way to keep your water heater in great shape long-term.

This is likely the temperature relief valve, which is a safety feature that relieves pressure to prevent overheating. An occasional drop of water on this pipe is generally no problem, but if leaks are frequent or continuous, you may require water heater repairs.

Delayed arrival of hot water at a faucet may not be a water heater problem. It’s typically caused by the plumbing system configuration in your home, with long “runs” of pipe extending between your water heater and far-flung bathrooms, for example. We can inspect your plumbing system and suggest a solution, or install an additional water heater to serve that area of your house.

Water heater installation is dangerous if you’re not licensed and experienced. If not properly handled, natural gas, electricity, and water lines can damage your home or family. Water heaters must be installed at the proper distance from the wall and correctly vented outdoors for safety. Improper water heater installations will fail inspection, and can lead to deathly carbon monoxide leaks or fires, and flooding/property damage.

The costs for installing a new water heater vary because each situation is unique. Installation costs are based upon complexity, including the specific area in the house where the water heater will be located, the type of water heater you currently have, and which type we’ll be replacing it with. We may need to make changes in existing plumbing or gas lines to bring the new installation up to current building codes and to ensure safe operation. Our upfront price quotes are always reasonable.

Let our experts help you choose the best new water heater for your Palm Springs home. Contact General Air Conditioning & Plumbing online or call (760) 465-0660 today!

I live in Palm Desert and had been gone for a month when my air conditioning stopped working as I was due to arrive home and the temp was 112. General/Ivan came out quickly, diagnosed the problem, ordered the part. Unfortunately part took 3 days to arrive but I was given a portable unit for bedroom. As soon as part arrived Ivan returned, earlier than appointment and fixed it. he was very courteous, knowledgeable and explained everything very well to me. He was great!Thanks,Sherry G

Michael Irvin is an absolutely incredible technician who goes above and beyond to the nth degree. I got home from my daughter’s wedding to find our AC out on a 118 degree day. Michael came out and eventually determined I needed a new mother board. but the factory was saying they were backed up and it could take 6 months to get a new one. In the desert, we could be dead by then. My little 14 year old Maltese had been panting all night from the heat. Michael ripped a motherboard out of his own office to replace mine! This, after lying on the ground for hours trying to fix the unit in sizzling heat. I am so impressed with this company, and especially for this selfless man who should possibly be renamed Ghandi.

The general is our Air Conditioning, Electrical AND Plumbing Company at the Children's Discovery Museum. They are the only company we trust with the nuances of our different and aged units and various projects we have had. The General's technicians particularly Mike and Robert are extremely professional and VERY knowledgeable, so much so that we KNOW we can rely on them when needed. Thank you for being a vendor we can feel proud to recommend. We can't thank you enough.
