Yes! BnD Plumbing specializes in both traditional and tankless water heater services. Whether you need a repair, routine maintenance, or a new installation, our skilled technicians can help you select and install the best water heater for your needs.

Here are some common signs that indicate it may be time for a water heater replacement:

  • Your water heater is over 10-15 years old
  • You notice rust-colored or cloudy water
  • The unit is making strange noises (rumbling, banging, or popping)
  • Water isn’t heating as efficiently as before
  • There are leaks around the water heater

If you’re unsure whether you need a repair or replacement, our team can assess your unit and recommend the best solution for your home.

Yes. Tankless water heaters provide unlimited hot water, lower energy costs, and a longer lifespan compared to traditional tank models. They are an excellent option for homeowners looking for energy efficiency and space-saving benefits.

To prevent sediment buildup and maintain efficiency, it is recommended to flush your water heater once a year—especially in areas with hard water, such as Fresno.

The right size depends on your household’s water usage. A 40-50 gallon tank is suitable for most families, while a tankless system provides continuous hot water based on demand. Our experts can help determine the best option for your home.

If you notice hard water stains, foul odors, cloudy water, or unusual tastes, it’s a sign that your water may need treatment. A professional water test can determine the specific issues in your water supply.

A water softener removes hard water minerals (calcium & magnesium) to prevent scale buildup, while a water filter removes contaminants, sediment, and chemicals to improve taste and safety. Many homes benefit from both systems.

A water filtration system provides cleaner, safer water for you and your family by removing contaminants like chlorine, lead, and other impurities. Benefits include:

  • Improved taste and odor of drinking water
  • Reduced exposure to harmful chemicals and bacteria
  • Protection for appliances from mineral buildup
  • Cost savings by reducing the need for bottled water

If you’re concerned about your water quality, our team can help you choose the right filtration system for your home.

The frequency depends on the type of system you have. Whole-house filters typically need replacement every 6-12 months, while reverse osmosis filters may need changing every 6-24 months, depending on usage.
