In Agoura Hills
Summer heat in Agoura Hills garages shortens the life of the water heater most houses keep out there. We replace tanks with strapping and an expansion tank, take the old one away and pull the permit with the City of Agoura Hills. Where the gas line can be sized for it, we'll do a tankless conversion.
Neighborhoods: Old Agoura, Morrison Ranch, Liberty Canyon, Lake Lindero, Chesebro, Fountainwood.

The job
How it goes
No hot water from a gas heater is usually the thermocouple, pilot assembly or gas valve, and that's a repair if the tank is sound. Water on the garage floor means the tank has rusted through, and the heater is done.
Replacement takes most of a day. We fit new flex connectors and a new gas connection, strap it top and bottom as California requires and check the vent. Houses with a pressure regulator, which is most of them here, get an expansion tank. We haul the old one away and handle the permit.
We install 40 and 50 gallon gas units as standard, and bigger ones where needed. Tankless has its own page.

Common questions
Water heaters in Agoura Hills: things people ask
- How fast can you get to Agoura Hills?
- Often the same day. It's seven minutes down the 101 from Westlake Village.
- Who pulls the permit in Agoura Hills?
- We do, through the City of Agoura Hills, for water heaters, gas lines, repipes and remodels. We handle the inspection.
- Does a water heater need a permit?
- Yes, in every city and county we work in. It covers the gas, venting and seismic strapping, and it matters when you sell.
- How long does a replacement take?
- Most of a day, with no hot water for about half of it.
- Tank or tankless?
- A tank is the simpler swap. A tankless is a bigger install, since the gas and venting usually change, but it doesn't run out and lasts about twice as long. We can bid both.
