Replace your water heater in San Lorenzo when it is over 10 to 12 years old, produces rusty or discolored water indicating internal corrosion, leaks from the tank body, requires frequent repairs, or no longer meets your household hot water demand. A water heater approaching these conditions often fails unexpectedly — replacement before failure avoids an emergency.
Yes. Phoenician Plumbing converts tank water heater systems to tankless in San Lorenzo, CA. The conversion requires confirming adequate gas supply capacity or electrical service, installing proper venting for the new unit, and making connection changes. Our plumbers assess your existing infrastructure and advise on what is required for a successful tankless conversion at your San Lorenzo home.
For a tank water heater, the right size depends on the number of occupants: 30 to 40 gallons for 1 to 2 people, 40 to 50 gallons for 3 to 4 people, and 50 to 80 gallons for larger households. For tankless units, the required flow rate in GPM determines the correct unit size. Phoenician Plumbing assesses your household demand and recommends the right unit for your San Lorenzo home.

Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Phoenician Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"Water heater was 13 years old and starting to rust. They recommended a replacement before it failed and scheduled installation for the next morning. Smooth process, zero issues, hot water immediately."
"Had an under-slab water line burst. They came out that day, capped off the bad line and restored water to the rest of the house, then rerouted the water line through the attic with minimal drywall damage. Very clean, respectful, knowledgeable, and professional. Only plumber I will ever call."
"Had multiple slow drains throughout the house. They ran a snake through each one and cleared everything in a couple of hours. Also diagnosed a venting issue contributing to the problem. Very thorough."
