Why call the Dudes
Tank Water Heater Installation done right the first time.
When your tank water heater finally quits, you don't want a sales pitch, you want hot water. Our Burbank crew carries the most common sizes on the truck and can usually swap a failed unit the same day.
Every install is permit-pulled when required, code-compliant, properly vented, with new shut-offs, expansion tank, and earthquake straps. Old unit hauled away, you don't lift a finger.
What we handle
Common tank water heater installation situations.
Cold or lukewarm water
Could be the heating element, thermostat, or a tank past its life. We diagnose first.
Rusty or smelly hot water
Tank corrosion. Replacement is usually the right call.
Pilot won't stay lit
Often a thermocouple, but on an old tank, replacement makes more sense.
Undersized for the household
Showers running cold? We'll size up to fit your real usage.
Old, inefficient unit
Modern tanks are quieter, safer, and dramatically more efficient.

FAQ
Quick answers.
Rule of thumb: 40 gallons for a 1–2 person household, 50 gallons for 3–4 people (the most common Burbank install), and 75–80 gallons for 5+ people or homes with a soaking tub. First-hour rating matters as much as raw gallons, a 50-gallon tank with a high-recovery burner often outperforms a 75-gallon with weak BTUs. We size based on actual fixture count, hot-water habits, and incoming water temp. If you're tired of running out, also worth asking about tankless conversion or a recirculation pump for instant hot water at the fixtures.
