"On a quiet Sunday morning our 25-year-old water heater started leaking. Jen answered in two rings, gathered the make, model and capacity, and gave a detailed, very fair quote immediately. In about 60 minutes, on a Sunday, Mathieu arrived and had the new water heater installed with a drain pan, expansion tank and earthquake straps in under two hours. HOTCO turned a disastrous weekend surprise into a non-event."
"I contacted HOTCO on a Friday night, and by Monday afternoon we had a new 40 gallon Bradford White water heater professionally installed. Charles was prompt, polite and very knowledgeable, had the old heater out and the new one in within two hours, then explained everything he did. We got both value and quality work."
"We woke up Saturday to our water heater leaking into the tray. The nice lady who answered the phone hooked us up right away and Charles showed up at 1:00 p.m. He was friendly, polite, respectful and knowledgeable. My wife and I are seniors and we really appreciate the rapid response."

FAQ
Commercial Water Heaters FAQs
Still have a question? Ask our assistant in the corner, or call and talk to a specialist.
Can you replace my water heater today?
In most cases, yes. We keep common tank sizes ready and are open 24/7, so many customers call in the morning and have hot water again the same day. Call (916) 905-4468 and we will give you a real arrival window.
How much does a new water heater cost?
Pricing depends on tank size, fuel type (gas or electric), venting, and what your home needs to meet current code. We give free, no-obligation quotes with the hardware, labor, delivery, haul-away and code-required safety parts included, so there are no surprises.
My water heater is leaking. What should I do right now?
Turn off the cold water supply valve on top of the tank. For gas units, turn the gas control to "off" or "pilot". For electric units, switch off the breaker. Then call us at (916) 905-4468. A small drip can turn into a flood quickly, so do not wait.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If your tank is under 8 years old and the issue is a thermostat, igniter, element, or valve, repair usually makes sense. If the tank itself is leaking or the unit is 10+ years old, replacement is usually the smarter investment. We will always tell you honestly which option saves you more.
How long does a water heater last?
A traditional tank typically lasts 8 to 12 years. Tankless water heaters can last 20 years or more with regular descaling. Hard water in the Sacramento region can shorten tank life, which is why annual flushing helps.
Is a tankless water heater worth it?
For many families, yes. Tankless units provide endless hot water, take up far less space, and can lower energy bills. The upfront cost is higher than a tank, so we will walk you through whether it pays off for your household size and usage.
