When your household hot‐water supply sputters, there is no time for guesswork. Homeowners throughout San Jose turn to CountBricks for reliable, cost-controlled water heater installation that blends licensed craftsmanship with cutting-edge AI estimating. Whether you are replacing an aging tank or upgrading to an energy-efficient hybrid, CountBricks delivers precise quotes in minutes, not days, and completes the job with zero surprises.
The South Bay’s mix of post-war ranch houses, new ADUs, and hillside estates means no two installs are alike. From low-boy electric units squeezed into crawlspaces to 75-gallon gas heaters feeding multi-bathroom homes, CountBricks technicians know the city’s diverse building stock inside and out. That local knowledge is matched by real-time pricing pulled from CountBricks.com/services, so your estimate always reflects today’s material costs—not last quarter’s catalog.
1. Voice-activated intake captures model preferences, venting details, and utility access in a single conversation
2. The CountBricks engine cross-checks city permit fees, regional labor rates, and supplier inventories
3. A line-item quote appears on your phone in under five minutes, complete with optional add-ons like expansion tanks or seismic strapping
4. You approve digitally and schedule the install window that fits your calendar
• Standard atmospheric gas tanks for cost-effective replacement
• Ultra-efficient hybrid electric heat-pump models targeting green rebates
• Direct-vent and power-vent units where air quality codes demand sealed combustion
• Tankless on-demand systems when square footage is tight
San Jose’s Title 24 mandates seismic strapping, proper drain pans, and combustion-air clearances. Homeowners often overlook these details, leading to failed inspections and added costs. CountBricks technicians arrive with pre-approved strap kits, low-profile pans, and the right vent adapters on the truck, so we pass inspection the first time. If your installation requires electrical upgrades, our in-house electricians coordinate the permit under one CountBricks umbrella contract.
Traditional contractors pad estimates with “miscellaneous” line items. CountBricks uses the same database that powers our blueprint takeoffs to break every component down for you:
• Water heater model, warranty term, and SKU
• Gas shutoff, flex connectors, and dielectric unions
• Haul-away and eco-recycling of your old unit
• Permit filing fees and inspection scheduling
No grey areas, no scribbled totals—just a clear breakdown you can forward to your HOA or insurance adjuster.
Installing an ENERGY STAR-rated heat-pump heater can earn up to $1,000 in local rebates. CountBricks automatically flags qualifying models and pre-populates rebate forms with your project data, shaving hours off paperwork. Over a typical ten-year lifespan, a hybrid unit can save a San Jose family more than $3,000 in utility costs. Our AI compares ROI across models in real time so you choose with confidence.
A 1950s bungalow in Willow Glen needed a cramped 40-gallon gas heater replaced. Using CountBricks’ AR blueprint capture, our estimator mapped the tight closet, verified vent clearance, and issued a same-day quote. The homeowner opted for a slim 50-gallon power-vent model. Total downtime: six hours. Inspection passed on the first visit, and the customer left a five-star review on CountBricks.com/portfolio.
