California is in the process of banning natural gas to reduce emissions and encourage home electrification. Starting in 2027, we will no longer be able to sell gas water heaters, and we expect gas prices to increase as PG&E passes infrastructure costs on to remaining gas customers.
When it’s time to replace your gas water heater, it only makes sense to install a heat pump water heater. At A-1 Guaranteed, we install reliable, energy efficient heat pump water heaters for homes in Vallejo, Berkeley, Concord, Walnut Creek and the surrounding areas. Let us help you stay ahead of the curve and prepare your home for the future.
Why Install a Heat Pump Water Heater in California?

A heat pump water heater uses electricity to move heat from the air around it into the water tank, instead of generating heat directly like gas and traditional electric water heaters. They’re safe, reliable, and extremely energy efficient.
