Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be forced to remove my existing gas water heater when the 2027 Bay Area ban takes effect?

Replacing your unit before the deadline allows a simple, direct swap for a cost-effective gas tank water heater. After January 1, 2027, replacements across the Bay Area must meet zero-emission standards (electric heat pumps), which frequently require running new 240V wiring and paying thousands of dollars for home electrical panel upgrades.

Mention the 10% off website offer when scheduling your qualifying tank water heater replacement with SPS Plumbing. You can claim this discount when calling or texting (408) 622-8183 (Bay Area) or (209) 597-9107 (Central Valley).

A standard replacement typically takes 2 to 4 hours. Our team drains and hauls away your old unit, connects the new tank to local safety codes, and performs full testing before leaving.

If your system is under 8 years old and has a minor issue (like a faulty element or thermocouple), repair is usually the best financial choice. If your tank is 8 to 12+ years old, leaking, or rusting, replacing it is more cost-effective—especially before local regulations change installation requirements.

We supply, install, and service all industry-leading brands, including Rheem, Bradford White, and AO Smith, ensuring your replacement matches your household size and peak hot water needs.
