Los Angeles homeowners depend on a reliable hot-water supply every day, yet few realize how quickly an aging unit can drain energy, raise utility bills, or suddenly fail.

A 1920s two-bedroom home faced lukewarm showers and a 17-year-old 30-gal tank in a tight crawlspace. Within one phone consultation, CountBricks generated a tankless conversion plan, including a ¾-inch gas line upsizing and wall vent termination. Our AI estimate predicted a two-day install at $3,350.
