We replace gas or electric tanks, including gas-line decommissioning and venting removal.
Professional HPWH Diagnostics & Support
Professional diagnostics, maintenance, and system support — electrical, controls, condensate, and performance evaluation.
Electrification & Rebates
We document every install to qualify for BayREN, TECH Clean California, and IRA 25C credits.

Not just new equipment — a system done correctly.
HPWH Installation
ABC Service sizes heat pump water heaters to household draw patterns and first-hour demand — not the gallon rating alone. We install Rheem ProTerra, A. O. Smith, and Bradford White units in 50, 65, and 80-gallon configurations with the air-volume, condensate, and electrical conditions the equipment actually needs.
Selection accounts for first-hour rating, recovery, ambient temperature, and how the household actually uses hot water. The wrong tank in the right location — or the right tank in the wrong location — will under-perform regardless of nameplate efficiency.
Gas-to-Electric Conversion
Converting from a gas tank to a heat pump water heater is a coordinated plumbing, electrical, and venting project. We decommission the gas line and B-vent, run a dedicated 240V circuit, verify panel capacity, and locate the new unit in a space that actually supports its compressor — not a sealed closet.
Where install conditions are marginal we propose duct kits or relocation rather than pretend a closet install will perform. The conversion is permitted, inspected, and documented so the homeowner has a clean record for rebate paperwork and future service.
Professional HPWH Diagnostics & Support
Our technicians provide professional diagnostics, maintenance, and system support for modern heat pump water heaters. We inspect system operation, electrical components, condensate drainage, controls, sensors, and overall performance to help keep your HPWH running efficiently and reliably.
Service may include electrical and control diagnostics, condensate system inspection, operating mode verification, preventive maintenance, and performance evaluation for Rheem, A. O. Smith, Bradford White, and Navien-style units. We document system condition and operating status so homeowners clearly understand how their equipment is performing.
Electrification & Rebates
Many heat pump water heater projects may qualify for local utility rebates and regional electrification incentive programs available throughout the Bay Area. Programs may include Golden State Rebates, TECH Clean California, BayREN energy-efficiency programs, Peninsula Clean Energy incentives, and Silicon Valley Clean Energy electrification rebates.
Our team helps homeowners navigate equipment eligibility, installation verification, and rebate-related documentation required for qualifying applications. Program availability, funding, and qualification requirements may vary by utility provider, project scope, and current incentive status.

Why this is worth doing right.
Lower operating cost
Heat pump water heaters use 60–70% less energy than electric resistance and undercut gas in most Bay Area homes.
Electrification path
A clean step toward an all-electric home that pairs naturally with solar and time-of-use rates.
Rebates & tax credits
Stacked utility, state, and federal incentives often cover a meaningful share of the install.
Done right matters
Air volume, location, and electrical sizing determine whether the unit actually performs as rated.
