Installing a water heater isn’t just about hooking up pipes — it’s about making sure your home has safe, dependable hot water for years to come. At LGE Prime Plumbing, we handle every install to California code, using quality materials and proven techniques. Whether you’re replacing an aging tank, upgrading to a tankless system, or building a new property, we’ll guide you through the best options for your needs and budget.
In addition to new installs, we also specialize in hot water heater replacement San Diego homes. Whether your current unit is leaking, inefficient, or just plain worn out, our team will recommend the best replacement options for your home, water usage, and budget.
Sometimes repairs make sense — but often, upgrading to a new water heater saves money and avoids surprise breakdowns. Here are the most common signs it’s time to consider a replacement:
Age of the unit: Most tanks last 8–12 years, while tankless can reach 20+. If yours is close to these numbers, a new install is often smarter than another repair.
Not enough hot water: If showers turn cold fast, your heater may be too small, full of sediment, or simply worn out.
Frequent repairs: Calling for fixes every few months? Those costs add up fast — and a new unit can actually be cheaper long term.
Rusty or discolored water: This could mean corrosion inside your tank, which isn’t fixable.
Leaks around the unit: A leaking tank usually needs immediate replacement to avoid major water damage.
High energy bills: Older heaters lose efficiency over time, costing more each month to heat the same water.
Strange noises: Popping or rumbling often means heavy sediment buildup that can shorten lifespan or cause internal damage.
Not sure if it’s time? We’ll give you an honest assessment so you can decide between a cost-effective repair or a reliable new install.
Don’t wait for your water heater to fail. Upgrade or replace it now with LGE Prime Plumbing — trusted by San Diego homeowners since 2010.

The right water heater depends on your family size, hot water usage, energy goals, and budget. We install all types — from traditional tanks to high-efficiency tankless systems — and we’ll help you pick what makes the most sense for your home or business.
A tried-and-true option, these store a ready supply of hot water — perfect for multiple bathrooms running at once. Generally lower upfront costs.
Enjoy endless hot water, lower energy bills, and more space with a tankless unit. Ideal for smaller footprints and families wanting on-demand hot water.
We install both natural gas and electric systems, depending on your home’s setup. Gas heats water faster and is typically cheaper long-term, while electric is easier to install in homes without gas lines.
Choosing the right size water heater isn’t just about how many people live in your home — it’s also about how many bathrooms and fixtures might demand hot water at the same time. We’ll make sure your system keeps up, so you’re never left with cold showers or wasted energy.
We also specialize in water pressure regulation and whole home water filtration — perfect upgrades to protect your new water heater.
For tankless systems: we calculate flow rates (gallons per minute) based on your home’s simultaneous needs — like running showers and laundry at once — so you get endless hot water sized just for you.
From your first call to the final system check, we make getting a new water heater simple and stress-free. Here’s how we handle every installation:
We’ll look at your current setup, ask about your hot water needs, and recommend the best options for your budget and home.
We safely disconnect and haul away your old water heater, making sure all gas, water, and electrical lines are properly shut off.
Your new water heater is installed to California code, with careful connections, secure venting, and tested for leaks or pressure issues.
We fill, pressurize, and thoroughly test your system to ensure it heats properly and delivers hot water where you need it — then clean up our workspace so it’s like we were never there.
Before we leave, we’ll show you how to operate and care for your new water heater, answer any questions, and make sure you’re 100% satisfied.
The cost of installing a new water heater depends on the type of system (tank vs. tankless), the size you need, and any updates required to your plumbing, gas, or electrical lines.
Most of our customers in San Diego find their water heater installations fall within a typical range for similar homes, but we’ll always give you a clear, up-front estimate tailored to your situation — no surprise fees or upsells.

Already seeing the signs? Let us help you upgrade to a system that’s sized for your home and built to last.
Installing a new water heater is only part of the story — keeping it properly maintained ensures you get the most life, efficiency, and savings out of it. Our team offers simple, affordable maintenance and quick repairs that protect your investment for years to come.
Sediment buildup in tanks: Hard water minerals settle at the bottom of tank heaters, making them work harder and wear out faster. An annual flush helps keep yours running efficiently.
Faulty thermostats: If your water temperature is inconsistent or lukewarm, it’s often just a worn thermostat that needs a quick replacement.
Scale in tankless systems: In tankless heaters, mineral scale can clog the heat exchanger, leading to leaks or shutdowns. We recommend professional descaling about once a year (typically around $350) to avoid costly repairs.

We called LGE for a new water heater after ours quit in the middle of the night. They were out first thing the next morning, explained everything clearly, and the install was spotless. So glad we found them!

Fair prices, no high-pressure sales, and they did great work replacing our old tank with a new tankless system. Would absolutely use again.

Honest, fast, and clean — three words I’d use for LGE. They even helped me figure out how to register the warranty. 100% recommend for water heaters.
