This project had been a nightmare for the last two years, but when California Renewable Energy came in, along with Solar Doctors, things went fast, smoothly, and we couldn't be happier with our ground mount setup.Posted on Pat KaveskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We found Nate Blanton on a Facebook ad. We contacted him and received a call from him. After a brief conversation, we set up a meeting to discuss replacing our messed up roof and installation of solar panels with battery back up. He arrived at our house on a Saturday due to my spouse working during the week. We spent several hours going over materials that would best suit our needs and a price we could afford. His dedication to his company and great customer service had us sold. We were in contract within a couple of days. There was a bit of confusion with the permit office which was no fault of Nate or the company he works for. Brent, their representative, spent hours at the permit office and kept us informed and worked through all of the kinks that the permit office threw at us. Nate kept in contact with us through everything assuring us everything would go smoothly. We had many questions and he would have the answers immediately. The big day came and our roof was installed. It is a vision of beauty. It's perfect and we're confident in the workmanship that we received. We have recommended Nate to our family, friends and neighbors. The work passed inspection the first time, which is impressive for our county. We are happy that we found this company and to have met Nate.Posted on Laura SloppyeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Types of Water Heaters We Work With
Different water heater systems suit different household needs, budgets, and space requirements. California Renewable Energy installs and services traditional tank models, modern tankless systems, and high-efficiency units fueled by natural gas, propane, or electricity.
Tank Water Heaters
Traditional tank water heaters store and heat a set amount of water, making them a reliable and cost-effective option for many homes. They are available in a range of sizes to match household demand.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters heat water only when you need it, providing endless hot water without storage tank limitations. These compact, energy-efficient units save space, reduce standby heat loss, and lower operating costs while lasting longer than traditional tanks.
High-Efficiency & Heat Pump Options
Heat pump water heaters pull warmth from surrounding air to heat water using a fraction of the energy of standard electric models. Condensing gas water heaters capture exhaust heat for extra efficiency, delivering significant energy savings and lower utility bills.

- FAQS
Water Heater Service FAQs
Homeowners often ask similar questions about water heater lifespan, repair versus replacement decisions, and performance issues. Here are clear answers to help you make informed choices about your home's hot water system.
How Long Should My Water Heater Last?
Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years with proper maintenance. Tankless systems often run 15-20 years. Lifespan depends on water quality, maintenance frequency, and usage patterns. Coastal areas with hard water may see shorter lifespans.
Repair or Replace, What's Better?
If your water heater is over 8 years old and requires significant repairs, replacement usually makes better financial sense. Newer units operate more efficiently, carry full warranties, and avoid repeated repair costs on aging equipment nearing the end of life.
Why Is My Hot Water Inconsistent?
Inconsistent hot water stems from sediment buildup reducing tank capacity, faulty thermostats, undersized systems for household demand, or failing heating elements. Tankless units may show temperature fluctuations from mineral deposits or inadequate gas supply.
