Types of Water Heaters We Install in Rancho Cordova

Tank Water Heaters

Tank water heaters store water in a large tank and keep it heated for use throughout the day. These traditional systems are affordable and easy to install, but they can also run out of hot water during high-demand periods.

In many Rancho Cordova homes, tank models are a good fit for families that use hot water at predictable times, like mornings and evenings. We help you choose the right tank size for your household so you are less likely to run out of hot water when everyone is showering or running appliances. Our technicians also review available fuel types and energy-efficiency ratings so you can balance upfront cost with long-term operating costs in a way that works for your budget.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters heat water only when needed, resulting in a continuous supply of hot water. They don’t require a storage tank and operate more efficiently than conventional tank systems.

Because Rancho Cordova summers can be hot and energy bills add up quickly, many property owners choose tankless systems for their lower standby energy loss and compact footprint. We walk you through sizing, gas or electrical requirements, and venting so your new unit performs the way it should in your specific home layout. Our team also explains typical maintenance needs, like descaling in hard-water areas, so you know what to expect over the life of your system.

Hybrid Water Heaters

Hybrid water heaters combine the benefits of tank and tankless systems. They use heat pump technology and electric elements to heat water. While they typically cost more upfront, their high efficiency makes them a worthwhile investment for many homeowners.

Hybrid systems are often a smart choice for Rancho Cordova homeowners who want to reduce utility costs without sacrificing hot water capacity. These units work best in spaces that maintain moderate temperatures, such as garages or utility rooms, so we take time to evaluate your home before making a recommendation. During our visit, we discuss potential rebates, expected savings over time, and how a hybrid system compares to traditional options for your specific hot water usage patterns.

Save on monthly energy bills while enjoying an endless supply of hot water throughout your home. Contact us at (916) 259-9306 or fill out our online form.

Water Heaters FAQs

Are water heaters expensive?

The best way to enjoy hot water is by investing in a reliable water heater from a company you can trust. While most installations cost thousands of dollars, our company can provide accurate estimates, so you know what to expect.

What contributes to the price of an installation?

Like most home improvements, installing a water heater can be labor-intensive. Expect to pay for the sourcing and transportation of all plumbing materials necessary for your installation. Unlike some companies, we provide fair pricing and zero hidden fees for these services.

Should you install a gas water heater yourself?

When desperate for hot water, trying DIY plumbing repairs and replacements may be tempting. However, water heater installation requires complex planning and execution, usually with more than one technician.

Do not attempt these risky projects yourself. Instead, contact our trustworthy professional plumbers at Bud’s Plumbing & Heating.

As preparation for the summer heat we always have our HVAC unit serviced and inspected for any issues. After reading up on reviews, and receiving multiple quotes, we decided to go with Bud’s. The technicians found no issues and even helped me configure our Nest Thermostat. It turns out our home being older it is not equipped with a Common C-Wire. When the technicians left, our AC was blowing cold and strong. After a few days we realized water dripping and the AC going in and out. It turned out the Nest configuration was overworking the blower motor and it had gone out. I called Bud’s and asked them to come out and help us resolve the problem. Moana quickly responded and on the same day Axel showed up at our door with portable AC units while we waited for the part to come in. Although uncertain of the actual cause for the failure of the blower motor, Moana offered to cover the entire cost of the service and fortunately for us the part was still under warranty. Bud’s showed up when it mattered most and with no hesitation to show that they wanted nothing more than to help. My family and I could not be more impressed and grateful. Thank you for your efficient response and kindness you have shown our family. Highly recommend Bud’s for all your plumbing and HVAC needs.

Buds plumbing was amazing!! All staff is super friendly and easy to talk to. I was connected with Axel regarding my tankless water heater that was not working and ignitor coil needed to be replaced. Axel followed up with me like he said he would until part was received. The weekend was coming up and I was afraid I would have to wait till Monday to get hot water.. but Axel followed up with me like he said. It's nice to know you can count on someone 7 days a-week and to keep their word means a lot.

I've used this company since 2007 (Ibought my house in 2006) for all my plumbing issues. They were recommended to me by my neighbors and others who have been long standing clients, all who continue to be more than satisfied with their work.
