Which system is right for your home?
We install and service all three. Here's the short version — click through for the technical guides.
Standard tank
The workhorse for most Kirkland homes. 40, 50, and 75-gallon gas or electric. Lowest upfront cost, 10–12 year lifespan, and we usually install the same or next day.
- Gas or electric
- Same-day swap-out
- Best budget option
Tankless
Wall-mounted, on-demand. Great for busy households, back-to-back showers, and homes tight on space. 20+ year lifespan with annual descaling.
- Never run out
- ~34% more efficient
- Frees up floor space
Heat pump
Hybrid electric — up to 3–4x more efficient than a standard electric tank. PSE and federal rebates stack. Ideal for garages and utility rooms with enough air volume.
- Big PSE + IRA rebates
- Lowest operating cost
- All-electric
What's unique about installing in Kirkland
Two decades in this ZIP code taught us the quirks. Here's what we look for on every Kirkland job.
Older Houghton and Market bungalows often still have undersized 1/2" gas lines — we upsize to 3/4" for tankless conversions.
Finn Hill and Juanita panels frequently need a 30A double-pole added for heat pump units — we coordinate the electrical.
Kirkland requires a mechanical permit for water heater swaps; we pull it same-day out of our Kirkland Ave office.
