Carlsbad, CA Water Heater Installation, Replacement & Repair

If you are looking for a new water heater or specific water heater installation, replacement or repair services in Carlsbad, California, look no further than Payless Water Heaters. Family-owned and -operated for the past 30 years, Payless has completed more than 100,000 successful installations with a dual focus on customer satisfaction and quality workmanship.

Water Heater Installation

Payless technicians are qualified to install a broad range of traditional and tankless water heaters that operate on gas, electric, and solar power. We routinely handle both residential and commercial water heater projects. 

Given the regular water restrictions and other conservation efforts that are quite common in Carlsbad, residents may want to consider installing a tankless water heater system. While tank-based water heaters store large amounts of water in tanks for future use, tankless water heaters heat water instantly upon demand. This not only makes tankless water heaters far more energy-efficient, but it ensures that you always have hot water when you need it. 

No matter what type of water heater you choose to install, Payless carries a model that is right for you. We are a certified retailer of brand-name Bradford White and Noritz Tankless water heaters in Carlsbad and beyond. We offer service around the clock without extra charges for after-hours work. While it typically takes between two and three hours to compete the typical water heater installation process, more complex setups, such as transitioning from a tank-based to a tankless system, can take a bit longer.

What Is a Tankless Water Heater?

A tankless water heater provides you with hot water on demand. This means you get a continuous hot water supply without paying for heating and storing water in a tank. Tankless units are a great choice in California due to their compact size and long-term durability and reliability.

How Does a Tankless Water Heater Work?

Water passes through a heat exchanger in the unit and comes up to temperature with a gas burner or electric heating element.

Make the Right Choice! Top Considerations for Carlsbad Water Heaters 

Beyond energy efficiency and ecological concerns, countless factors can  — and should — influence your water heater choices in Carlsbad and elsewhere. Like other southern California communities, Carlsbad and its various municipalities regularly subject residents to ever-changing water restrictions that limit landscaping choices and impact daily life. Residents of Carlsbad and its outlying areas should also consider earthquake safety and adhere to all relevant local permitting restrictions and building codes.

Other factors to keep in mind when selecting a new water heater for installation include your preferred fuel type, your space limitations, and both the size and hot water demands of your household. Tankless water heater systems can fit into remarkably small places and will provide an endless supply of reliable hot water no matter how many showers you take. 

You will also want to take advantage of any available rebates or incentives while prioritizing “future-proof” water heaters that incorporate digital connectivity and smart controls for improved operational interfacing and efficiency monitoring.

Water Heater Repair 

From leaking water to strange noises, any number of water heater problems can require urgent attention. Timely repairs are particularly important because many issues will only get worse (and more expensive) if left unaddressed. 

Some repairs are quite straightforward, restoring quality hot water immediately and returning your water heater system to maximum operational efficiency. Of course, it is always essential to weigh the costs and benefits of repair against the relative costs and benefits of water heater replacement. Payless can give you the facts that you need to make an informed decision. Major leaks, significant corrosion, and catastrophic equipment failure are all good reasons to replace rather than repair.

Water Heater Maintenance

From replacing worn parts to flushing tanks of built-up sediment, regular maintenance can help you get the very most out of your water heater system. While you can do some routine water heater maintenance tasks yourself, it is best to schedule yearly service by a professional if you want to optimize its performance and longevity. With a firm emphasis on safety, it is important to consider the extent and limitations of your plumbing and equipment knowledge before attempting to service your water heater yourself.

Bob A.
Juan did a good job. Received advance notice of arrival. He arrived on time. He performed descaling and annual maintenance efficiently and courteously.
Edik H.
Exceptional service. Very knowledgeable and professional. Thank you.Now I can take a shower without worrying about hot water going out.
Jeffrey R.
My water heater stopped working literally the day before I was planning to have friends visit and stay for a week. Payless sent Antonio C. ("Tony") over and, after confirming the heater needed to be replaced, he offered to replace the water heater same day. I was surprised by this since it was already the late afternoon, but he worked tirelessly until 7 pm to get it installed. When he was done, he went over the new water heater with me and patiently answered all of my questions. All said, Tony was an absolute legend and because of his hard work we were able to have hot water in time for our visitors. Would highly recommend Payless to anyone. Thanks Tony!!
John W.
Based on some negative reviews, I initially had some trepidation about contacting Payless Water Heaters for a third quote on replacing our 12-year-old 75-gallon Bradford-White gas water heater, which was very near the end of its life, evidencing a slow tank leak. But it was going to a straightforward installation, especially since the original installer (Better Water Heaters) did a fine job including unions at critical joints to make the eventual swap-out easy.

As an experienced homeowner and handyman, I know what I'm doing even if I'm paying someone else to do it. So when Joel from Payless came out (less than two hours after I made the call), I could see that he knew his trade and we had a nice discussion about the job requirements. As I'm sure he's instructed to, he started to explain their different offerings starting with the most "deluxe" package which includes an extended warranty and some extra devices (such as leak detection). I never take those things and asked Joel to skip right to the "basic" economy installation package, which he did without hesitation. He gave me the price and much to my surprise it was several hundred dollars less than the two preliminary competing quotes I had, and it included the exact same Bradford-White URG275H6N unit and 6-year factory limited warranty, as well as a couple of not strictly necessary but prudent plumbing upgrades, like replacing the 12-year-old old flexible water inlet and outlet hoses with brand-new, custom-bent solid copper pipe.

Joel quickly and competently answered a few questions. As is my habit, I told him that I would evaluate the competing quotes and get back to them soon. He left, and I started double checking my other quotes. But 5 minutes later Joel was back at my front door to inform me that he would not be leaving for a while. An unrelated vehicle breakdown had just occurred in front of our driveway, and he would not be able to get out until after a tow truck arrived and cleared it, perhaps up to an hour. At that point, after phoning his office, he was able to offer a further discount if I would accept the discounted price and let him start immediately. I'm happy that I did. An hour later, Joel had removed the old water heater, the disabled vehicle had been towed away, and his colleague arrived with the new unit. After a total of about two hours, the job was done. No problems at all.

I was impressed with Joel's professional manner throughout the process. At the very end, when it came time to pay, the card-swipe unit tethered to his tablet would not read my credit card. He offered that we could enter the card number and other info directly on his tablet. I agreed and he handed me the tablet, opened to the payment-entry page, and backed up two steps so that he was no longer in a position to see me enter my credit card number etc. He may be very sensitive to and considerate of customer privacy and security issues, or this may be part of his training, but either way I thought it was very good and it gave me the sense that I was dealing with a very reputable company.
Hilma B.
Very efficient service from Juan C. and Pablo R. Everything was explained to satisfaction. Highly recommend!
Trade S.
Same day response! Proved older tankless exchanger was leaking, fried control board. Installed replacement - same mfg newer model. Modified hot, cold, gas, and flu exhaust. vacuumed entire work area. Installer skills were exemplary!
Yvette S.
Tristan was very knowledgeable and very nice. He knew what to do and he did it quick and professional. The other ladies that I talked with before my appointment they were also helpful and kind and they answered all my questions.
Gregory P.
I called Payless for an initial estimate. Aldrin was prompt, honest, and professional.
Dustin B was then assigned to us. He was very friendly, courteous and professional. He singlehandedly removed our elevated 75 gallon heater. Then he installed (wrestled in place) a Bradford White unit along with code upgrades and recirculating pump re
-plumbing.
Their pricing was very competitive. Customer service was prompt; they even called after hours to schedule Dustin for the follow-up. Cool.
Thanks, Dustin, Aldrin and Payless!
Melissa P.
Payless had very good communication. When there was a change in time, it was communicated immediately. Jessica sent the name and photo of the technician. Juan C. was courteous and timely. He was able to identify and explain the problem clearly. My water heater was repaired in no time...and I decided to get a Halo system to keep my water heater running smoothly.
Jane F.
Sal was professional, informative, made great recommendations and solved my issue
