New water heater installation across the Bay Area

A water heater at the end of its life, or a household deciding to switch to tankless for the space and efficiency gains, needs a full installation rather than a repair. NorTech connects you with a background-checked provider who removes the old unit, installs the new one — tank or tankless — handles venting and connections correctly for the unit type, and manages any required permit.

Sizing your new water heater correctly

An undersized tank leaves you running out of hot water, while an oversized one wastes energy keeping water hot you don't use — sizing depends on your household's actual usage patterns, not just square footage. Your provider factors this in before recommending a unit.

Tank vs. tankless: what actually changes

Tankless units heat water on demand rather than storing it, which means near-endless hot water but a different venting and gas or electrical requirement than a tank swap. Your provider walks through what your specific home's setup can support before you commit to either.
