Whether your water heater stopped working this morning or you know it is nearing the end of its life, Paws Plumbing provides fast, honest diagnosis and same-day service across San Diego County. Call by 2 PM, Monday to Saturday, and most replacements happen the same day.
Bradford White tank packages for 30 to 50 gallon units, priced with installation included. 75 gallon and larger units are quoted the same way, just bigger numbers. No coupons, no bait pricing, no surprises at the door.
75 gallon packages run $3,620 to $4,720 installed. 100 gallon and commercial units are custom quoted. Tankless systems (Noritz and Navien) typically run $3,300 to $8,500 depending on your home's gas and venting.
Browse packages or answer three quick questions, see your installed price, and book the install. No phone call required until you want one.
We install both, and profit is similar on both, so the recommendation you get is based on your home rather than our margin.

Why buy the unit through Paws instead of the big box store? When you buy your water heater through us, we cover the full replacement if the unit fails. Customer-supplied units from Home Depot or elsewhere receive a workmanship warranty only, which means if the tank itself fails, you pay for the uninstall and the reinstall of its replacement. The unit price is similar either way. The warranty is not.
VIP service plan coming soon. Annual maintenance, priority scheduling, and member pricing are in the works. Ask about it when you call.
Usually, yes. We carry Bradford White units on our trucks. Call by 2 PM Monday through Saturday and most standard tank replacements are finished the same day.
The unit, delivery, professional installation, haul-away of the old heater, and the warranty for the tier you choose. The Better and Best packages add code compliance work and extended warranties. You approve the exact price before we start.
Bradford White is built in the USA, sold only through licensed contractors, and backed by a strong manufacturer warranty. It is the brand we trust in our own homes, so it is the one we put in yours.
San Diego's hard water builds sediment faster than most regions, which shortens heater life by 3 to 5 years. If you want to fix the cause as well as the symptom, ask us about water treatment through our Pure Water San Diego team.

"Amazing professional experience. They understood the urgency and sent out a team who was extremely knowledgeable and had all the supplies with them. I found the pricing a good value for the high level of service."
"I've used Paws for multiple things in the condo, from kitchen problems to two toilet installations. By far one of the most honest and up front companies I've used, and the only people I will use for all things plumbing related."
"Plumbing issues are always stressful. Jonathan and Billy replaced our shower valve and made light work of it. What a pleasant experience opening our home to them."
