Getting ahead of California's 2027 gas water heater ban? Peak Home Service installs rebate-ready heat pump water heaters in Los Altos — plus tankless & tank installs, water heater repair, drain cleaning, and 24/7 emergency plumbing across Santa Clara County. Licensed Los Altos plumbers, insured, and upfront on price.
Starting January 1, 2027, it becomes illegal to sell or install a new gas water heater — tank or tankless, under 75,000 BTU — anywhere in the nine-county Bay Area, including all of Los Altos and Santa Clara County. You can keep and repair your current unit, but once it needs replacing, the only legal option is a zero-emission heat pump water heater (HPWH). Los Altos homeowners who switch now can stack utility and panel rebates worth $3,000 or more — and we handle the paperwork.
New gas water heaters — tank and tankless — can no longer be sold or installed in the Bay Area after Jan 1, 2027.
You're not forced to remove a working gas unit. The rule only triggers when you replace it — your choice, your timing.
The zero-NOx replacement is an electric heat pump water heater — 3 to 4 times more efficient than gas.
Switch on your terms now and skip the 2027 rush, inventory crunch, and emergency panel-upgrade delays.
Rebate amounts verified from Silicon Valley Clean Energy's FutureFit Homes program plus the City of Los Altos supplementary rebate, June 2026. The Los Altos bonus is applied after your post-installation claim, first-come first-served. Final totals depend on eligibility, equipment, and available funds — we confirm your exact number before any work begins.
No flame, no gas line. A heat pump water heater — like the Rheem ProTerra we install — moves free heat out of the surrounding air and into your tank, running up to 4× more efficiently than gas. Here’s the 30-second tour.
A quiet top-mounted fan draws in surrounding air — even cool garage air at 50°F is full of usable heat.
The compressor concentrates that captured heat, driving its temperature past 160°F — far hotter than the air it came from.
Hot refrigerant flows through the condenser coil wrapped around the tank, releasing its heat into the water.
Because it moves heat instead of burning gas, electric elements only add a boost during heavy demand — zero emissions, rebate-ready.
