Traditional Tanks

Dependable and affordable. Gas, electric, or hybrid in 30-80 gallon sizes. Space matters in Novato: Hamilton homes often have tight utility areas—we carry compact models that fit where standard units won’t. With regular maintenance, expect 8-12 years of reliable service.

Tankless (On-Demand)

Wall-mounted, space-saving, energy efficient, and endless hot water. Ideal for Novato homes where the utility closet is already cramped or where a growing family needs more capacity. 20+ year lifespan, 30% energy savings. Gas line and venting upgrades required—we handle those.

Heat Pump Water Heaters

Extract heat from ambient air—2-3x more efficient than standard tanks. Marin’s mild climate is perfect for these units. They need some space around them to work properly, so they’re better suited to San Marin garages than Hamilton closets.

Repairs We See Most in Novato

• Sediment flush — Critical for Indian Valley well water homes
• No hot water diagnosis — We find the cause, not just the symptom
• Heating elements — Electric water heater element failures are common in older Novato homes
• Leak detection — Tank, fittings, or relief valve
• Pilot light issues — Common in Hamilton’s older gas lines
• Temperature swings — Often pressure-related in hillside homes
• Strange noises — Rumbling usually means sediment buildup

Hamilton Field

1940s military housing converted to residential. Compact utility closets, older gas lines, unique layouts from the base days. We’ve worked Hamilton for decades and know what fits.

Old Town Novato

Vintage cottages with their own quirks. Tight spaces, older infrastructure, sometimes undersized gas lines that need upgrading for modern units.

San Marin & Ignacio

1970s-80s developments with more space but aging systems. Those original water heaters from the 80s? They’re well past their expiration date.

Indian Valley & Rural Areas

Well water with higher mineral content. Harder on water heaters, more sediment buildup. Annual flushing is even more important out here.

What You’ll Pay to Run It

• Tank: $300-500/year
• Tankless: $200-350/year
• Heat pump: $150-300/year
• Solar: $100-200/year

Indian Valley homes on well water often see higher costs due to sediment buildup. Annual flushing keeps efficiency up and bills down.

• Federal tax credits — Up to 30% for qualifying efficient models

What Goes Wrong in Novato Homes

• Heavy sediment — Especially Indian Valley well water
• Pilot light failures — Hamilton’s older gas infrastructure
• Undersized units — 1940s homes weren’t built for modern hot water demand
• Long wait times — Distant fixtures in larger San Marin homes
• Tank corrosion — Accelerated by mineral-rich water
• High energy bills — Often means sediment is reducing efficiency
