Water Heater Types We Install
Tank Water Heaters
Traditional storage tank water heaters are the most common option for homes and businesses in the Redding area. They store a large supply of hot water in a tank, ready whenever you need it. We install gas and electric tank water heaters in a full range of sizes to accommodate households of all sizes. If you’re looking for a reliable, cost-effective solution, a tank water heater is a great choice.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters — also known as on-demand water heaters — heat water only when you need it, eliminating standby energy loss. This can reduce your water heating energy costs by up to 30–40%. They also have a longer lifespan than traditional tank models and take up significantly less space. We install all major brands of gas and electric tankless water heaters throughout Shasta and Tehama County.
Heat Pump Water Heaters
Heat pump water heaters are one of the most energy-efficient options available today. Instead of generating heat directly, they pull heat from the surrounding air to warm your water — using up to 70% less energy than standard electric water heaters. If energy efficiency is a top priority, this is an excellent investment for your home.
Commercial Water Heaters
Bickley’s also installs high-capacity commercial water heaters for businesses, restaurants, apartment complexes, and other commercial properties throughout the Redding area. We understand the demands of commercial hot water systems and will ensure your installation meets code and keeps up with your usage needs.

Signs You Need a New Water Heater
Not sure if it’s time to replace your water heater? Here are some of the most common signs that a new installation may be in your best interest:
- Your water heater is 10–15 years old — Most units have a lifespan of 8–12 years for tank models and up to 20 years for tankless units. If yours is aging, it’s likely losing efficiency.
- You’re running out of hot water frequently — If your current unit can’t keep up with your household demand, it may be undersized or failing.
- You notice rusty or discolored water — Rust-colored water coming from your hot water taps can indicate corrosion inside your tank.
- You hear unusual noises — Rumbling, popping, or banging sounds from your water heater often indicate sediment buildup, which reduces efficiency and can damage the tank.
- You see visible leaks or corrosion — Any signs of moisture, pooling water, or rust around the base of your unit should be addressed immediately.
- Your energy bills are rising — An inefficient water heater works harder to maintain temperature, driving up your utility costs.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, contact Bickley’s Air Conditioning & Heating for an honest assessment and a free installation estimate.

We install all brands of water heaters. Whether you’ve already purchased a unit or need help selecting the right one, our technicians are experienced with every major manufacturer on the market, including Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, Rinnai, Navien, Noritz, and more.
How long does a water heater installation take?
Most standard tank water heater installations are completed within 2 to 4 hours. Tankless water heater installations are slightly more involved and typically take between 4 and 6 hours, depending on the specific setup and whether any additional modifications to gas lines or electrical systems are needed.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
In many cases, replacement is the smarter long-term investment — especially if your water heater is more than 10 years old or if repair costs are approaching 50% or more of the cost of a new unit. Our technicians will give you an honest, no-pressure recommendation based on the condition of your current unit.
How much does water heater installation cost in Redding, CA?
Installation costs vary depending on the type of water heater, the size of the unit, and the complexity of the installation. For example, tankless installations may require modifications to gas lines or electrical systems, which can affect the overall cost. Contact Bickley’s for a free, no-obligation estimate.
How do I know what size water heater I need?
The right size depends on the number of people in your household and your peak hot water usage. As a general guide, a 40-gallon tank is sufficient for 2–3 people, while a 50-gallon tank suits 3–5 people. For larger families or high-demand households, we may recommend a 75–80 gallon unit or a tankless system. Our technicians will help you find the perfect fit.
