In Fresno’s hot-summer, cool-winter climate, a reliable water heater is more than a comfort item—it is central to everyday living. When a unit fails, families lose hot showers, clean dishes, and laundry capacity all at once. CountBricks brings a smart, hassle-free solution for “water heaters Fresno” projects with AI-driven estimating, instant material databases, and on-site voice capture that keeps your project on time and on budget.
The City of Fresno enforces California Plumbing Code amendments that outline venting clearances, seismic strapping, and maximum standby loss allowances. Missing a single line item can stall inspections for days. CountBricks AI automatically applies Fresno-specific code requirements to every proposal so nothing slips through the cracks.
• Dual seismic straps placed in the upper and lower thirds of the tank
• Temperature & pressure relief valve (T&P) discharge to approved drain location
• Proper expansion tank sizing for the Central Valley’s fluctuating municipal pressures
• Low-NOx burner compliance for natural-gas models sold in California
Homeowners often ask whether they should stick with a conventional storage tank or make the switch to tankless. The answer depends on household usage, gas line capacity, and budget. CountBricks’ live materials database pulls current Fresno supplier pricing, helping you compare true cost of ownership in seconds.
• Storage Tank: Lower upfront cost, 6–10 year warranty, occupies more space
• Tankless: Higher upfront cost, 12–15 year warranty, endless hot water, requires adequate gas supply and venting upgrades
• Heat Pump Hybrid: Best energy savings, larger footprint, needs condensate drain, eligible for California rebates
Traditional contractors take days to assemble a bid. CountBricks compresses the entire process into a single site visit.
1. Voice Capture: Our technician walks the project while speaking measurements, obstacles, and homeowner preferences into the CountBricks mobile app.
2. Real-Time Cost Database: The app cross-references Fresno supplier pricing for tanks, fittings, vent kits, and permits.
3. AI Assembly: CountBricks AI builds a detailed scope, line-by-line costs, and a labor schedule calibrated to local wage rates.
4. Instant Proposal: Homeowners receive a PDF and web link with optional upgrades—circulation pumps, water softeners, smart leak detectors—within minutes.
5. One-Click Acceptance: Digital signatures trigger automatic purchase orders so materials arrive before demolition begins.
1. Pre-Job Safety & Shutoff: Verify gas, electric, and water isolation points.
2. Drain & Remove Existing Unit: Mitigate flood risk with pump-free hose purge when possible.
3. Rough-In Upgrades: Resize gas lines, upgrade vent to UL-listed double-wall B-vent or concentric PVC for condensing units.
4. Set & Strap New Heater: CountBricks installers follow seismic and clearance charts stored in our field tablets.
5. Connect Water & Gas Lines: Dielectric unions, flexible gas connectors, and leak-free press fittings reduce brazing time.
6. Commissioning & Code Testing: Confirm manifold pressure, T&P function, and deliver a combustion report to the homeowner.
7. Digital Closeout: Photos, warranty registration, and inspection documentation automatically attach to the CountBricks project record.
Many Fresno residents worry about hidden extras such as permit fees or unexpected vent relocations. Because CountBricks AI references current city fee schedules and local labor productivity factors, every cost appears upfront. If the homeowner chooses an upgrade mid-project, the change order is priced and approved in real time, eliminating surprise invoices.
