Is the water hard in Sunnyvale?
the South Bay's water is moderately hard — enough to scale water heaters and fixtures over time — so periodic flushing keeps them running efficiently.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
Repair small issues on a newer unit; replace if it's leaking from the tank or over about 10 years old, since failures and flooding become likely.
Does my water heater need earthquake strapping in California?
Yes — California requires water heaters to be strapped and fitted with flexible connectors so a quake can't topple the tank or shear the gas and water lines.
Is a tankless water heater worth it in California?
Often yes — tankless units save space and run efficiently, but California's hard water scales them, so periodic descaling (and a softener) keeps them working.
