Common questions about water heaters services in La Crescenta, CA.
La Crescenta's moderately hard water accelerates sediment buildup in tank water heaters, causing premature failure and reducing efficiency. The mineral content from Los Angeles County's water supply requires more frequent maintenance and earlier replacement than in areas with softer water.
Tankless units work well in La Crescenta, especially for hillside custom homes in Crescenta Highlands where space is limited. However, the hard water requires annual descaling maintenance, and proper gas line sizing is critical for adequate hot water flow.
Many custom homes in areas like Crescenta Highlands have higher hot water demands than standard tract homes. Factors include multiple bathrooms, large soaking tubs, and outdoor entertaining areas that may require larger capacity or multiple units for adequate supply.
Yes, earthquake strapping is mandatory for all water heater installations in La Crescenta due to California seismic requirements. Hillside installations may need additional anchoring and proper clearances, especially in areas near the San Gabriel Mountains foothills.
