Anaheim homes, up close
Anaheim Public Utilities is a city-owned, not-for-profit electric and water utility. Summer heat waves push inland Orange County well into the 90s, which is hard on older air conditioners.
The Kroeger-Melrose district holds Craftsman and California bungalows built mostly between 1900 and 1915. Many mid-century homes keep the water heater in a garage or utility closet, where code may call for raising it off the floor.
State and local code requires water heaters to be strapped for earthquakes, and inspectors check for it on replacements. The Anaheim Colony Historic District, designated in 1997, covers the original 1857 settlement.
What usually goes wrong
Here is what Anaheim callers mention most:

Who handles what in Anaheim
Electric heaters draw power from Anaheim Public Utilities, and gas models rely on SoCalGas. Either way, a replacement in Anaheim typically needs a permit through the Anaheim Building Division. Water heater replacement in California is plumbing work licensed by the Contractors State License Board, and state code requires seismic strapping.
Before the visit
Take a photo of the heater's label showing brand, model, capacity and fuel type.
What people ask us
Is my neighborhood in Anaheim covered?
Most likely. We cover Platinum Triangle, Five Points, Anaheim Resort and East Anaheim and other parts of Anaheim, across 92801, 92802, 92804, 92805, 92806 and others. If no one is available, you will hear that from us up front.
How often should a tank be flushed?
Once a year is a common rule of thumb, more often where water is hard. Ask the pro to show you the drain valve so you know where it is.
Can I relight my own pilot?
Many older gas heaters have relighting instructions on the label. If it will not stay lit, or you smell gas, stop and call for help.
Is a leaking water heater an emergency?
A drip from a fitting can wait a little. Water from the tank itself means it is failing. Shut off the water supply and the power or gas, and call soon.
Not in a rush? Say so. Flexible timing can make it easier to find someone with an opening.
