Plumbing and HVAC in Hemet, CA
Serving Hemet and the San Jacinto Valley
Hemet sits northeast of Murrieta in the San Jacinto Valley, and it is one of the busiest cities on our schedule outside our home town. The housing stock skews older than the newer valley developments, which shows clearly in the kind of work we get called for there.
Complete HVAC System Replacement
More full system replacements happen in Hemet than anywhere else we work. Recent jobs include a complete three ton upflow system, a four ton complete system, a Goodman five ton horizontal furnace with stands and gas flex, and a four ton horizontal furnace replacement. Older homes with original or first replacement equipment reach the end of the line together, and at that point replacing the system outright usually costs less across the remaining life than staged repairs. See AC replacement and installation and furnace replacement.
Water Heaters, Tank and Tankless
The other constant in Hemet is water heaters. We install a lot of 50 gallon Bradford White units there, typically with the code upgrades older installations never had: thermal expansion tank, proper pan, correct gas connections. We also do a steady amount of tankless work in Hemet, including Navien 240A installs with internal recirculation pumps, which give continuous hot water and free up floor space. See tank water heaters and tankless water heaters.
Water Mains and Supply Line Work
Older supply lines fail, and we have repaired broken water mains and pinhole leaks in Hemet, in one case replacing a faulty pressure regulator and fitting a new hose bib at the same time. A pressure regulator that has failed high will keep causing leaks elsewhere until it is dealt with, so it is worth checking when leaks start repeating. See plumbing leak repair and whole house repiping.
Water Treatment
We have also installed whole house purification in Hemet, including a Halo five stage system with a new brass ball valve and pressure regulator. Valley water is hard enough that treatment pays for itself in appliance life. See water treatment systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you actually come out to Hemet?
Yes, regularly. Hemet is one of the busiest cities on our schedule outside Murrieta, particularly for complete HVAC system replacement and water heater work. We answer calls 24 hours a day.
My whole HVAC system is original. Repair or replace?
Once a system is past roughly 12 to 15 years, uses R-22 refrigerant, or needs a compressor or coil, replacement generally costs less over the remaining life than continuing to repair it. Older Hemet homes often reach that point across the furnace and the condenser at the same time, which is why full system replacement is so common there.
Is tankless worth it in an older home?
Often, but it depends on the gas supply and venting, which older homes sometimes need upgraded. We have installed Navien tankless units with recirculation in Hemet. We confirm what your home needs before recommending it rather than after.
