Heat Pump Water Heater Conversions
Switching from Gas to a Heat Pump
A conversion replaces your existing gas water heater with an electric heat pump unit. It is a bigger job than a like-for-like swap: the gas line is capped, a new electrical circuit is run, and the condensate has to drain somewhere. Water Heater Boys handles the whole changeover, permits included, so you are not left coordinating an electrician and a plumber yourself.
Bay Area homeowners are making the switch ahead of the 2027 rules on new gas water heaters, and to cut the running cost of heating water. Rebates are often available for a gas-to-electric conversion — we will tell you which ones apply to your address before you commit to anything.

Lower Running Costs
A heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel to make it, so it uses a fraction of the energy of a gas or standard electric tank.
Rebates Available
Gas-to-electric conversions often qualify for utility and state rebates. We check what your address is eligible for and factor it into your quote.
Ahead of 2027
New rules are coming for gas water heaters in the Bay Area. Converting now means choosing your timing instead of replacing in an emergency.
No More Combustion
Capping the gas line removes the burner, the flue, and the combustion air requirement from that part of your home.
One Crew, One Job
Plumbing, electrical, condensate, and permits are handled together — you deal with us, not three separate trades.
What’s Included in a Conversion?
Every conversion starts with a site check — clearance, airflow, drainage, and your electrical panel — so nothing is discovered halfway through the job:
- Removal and disposal of the old gas unit
- Capping the gas line and removing the flue
- A dedicated electrical circuit run to the new unit
- Drain pan and condensate routing
- New water supply lines and seismic strapping
- Permits, inspection, and rebate paperwork
- Testing, setup, and a walkthrough before we leave
