If your water heater is more than 8 years old, itâs probably costing you more than you think. In 2025, San Francisco homeowners are facing new regulations and rising energy costs that make upgrading your water heater not just smartâbut essential.
The California Clean Air Board has officially phased out the sale of gas water heaters in the Bay Area starting this year. That means if your current unit fails, youâll need to replace it with an electric or heat pump water heaterâand the good news is, there are major rebates and free installation programs now available.
At Dr. Drain Plumbing and Rooter, weâre helping homeowners make the switch with licensed installation, energy-efficient models, and expert guidance on rebate eligibility. Whether youâre in San Francisco, Daly City, or South San Francisco, weâll help you upgrade without the stress.
