If your water heater is acting up, you don't want to wait around for someone to show up three days later. At West Coast Plumbing and Drains Inc., we've been helping homeowners and businesses in Murrieta get their hot water back — fast. Whether you've got a leaking tank, a lukewarm shower that's been bugging you for weeks, or you're finally ready to upgrade to a tankless system, our licensed plumbers are ready to help. We serve Murrieta and nearby communities, including Temecula, Wildomar, Menifee, and Winchester.
This isn't a call center that routes you to whoever's available. When you call us, you get a local team that knows the area, shows up on time, and actually fixes the problem.
Picking a new water heater can feel overwhelming — tank or tankless? Gas or electric? 40 gallons or 50? We make it simple. Our team will walk you through the options based on your home's size, how many people are in your household, and what you're comfortable spending. No jargon, no upselling, just a clear recommendation that fits your situation.
Great for families that seem to always run out of hot water. You get continuous hot water on demand, and most homeowners see a noticeable drop in their monthly energy bills after switching.
Still the right choice for a lot of homes — lower upfront cost, easier to service, and reliable for households with predictable hot water use.
Every water heater installation in Murrieta, we do is handled by a licensed plumber. We pull the right permits, make sure your venting is correct, and leave your system running the way it should.
Cold showers, water pooling on the floor, a banging noise that started last week — these aren't things you want to ignore. We offer same-day water heater repair in Murrieta for most calls, and we bring the parts most commonly needed right on the truck so we're not wasting your time.
Some of the most common issues we fix:
• No hot water at all, or water that goes cold too fast
• Water that comes out rusty, cloudy, or smells off
• Leaks around the tank, fittings, or relief valve
• Strange popping or rumbling noises (usually sediment buildup)
• Pilot light that keeps going out on gas heaters
• Fluctuating temperatures — hot one minute, cold the next
We'll be straight with you about whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation. If the fix will hold for years, we'll fix it. If you're going to be calling us again in six months, we'll tell you that too.

Most water heaters fail right when you need them most — middle of winter, guests coming to stay, morning of a big day. Regular maintenance catches the small issues before they turn into an emergency call.
Our annual maintenance service includes:
• Flushing sediment out of the tank (this alone can add years to its life)
• Checking and replacing the anode rod if needed
• Testing the pressure relief valve
• Inspecting gas connections and electrical components
• Checking thermostat settings and overall system performance
It's one of the easiest ways to protect your investment and avoid a cold-water crisis.
More Murrieta homeowners are making the switch to tankless — and for good reason. Tankless systems only heat water when you actually need it, which means you're not paying to keep a 50-gallon tank warm 24/7. They also last significantly longer than traditional tanks, often 15–20 years with proper maintenance.
We offer tankless water heater installation from top brands and size them correctly for your home. A unit that's too small will leave you running out of hot water again — we make sure that doesn't happen.
We also handle tankless water heater repairs, including scale buildup from hard water, ignition issues, and error codes. If your unit is acting up, we can usually diagnose it the same day.
There's a point where continuing to repair an aging water heater just doesn't make financial sense anymore. If your system is 10+ years old, has rust inside the tank, or has needed multiple repairs in the past couple of years, replacement is usually the smarter call.
We handle the full replacement — removing the old unit, disposing of it properly, and installing a new system that's correctly sized and code-compliant. We give you upfront pricing before we start and explain every option so you can make a decision you're comfortable with.
Water heaters don't break on a schedule. A leaking tank at 10pm or a complete failure on a Sunday morning isn't something you should have to just deal with. Our emergency water heater services are available seven days a week — call us and we'll get someone out to you.
We're a local company, not a franchise. When you call, you're getting a team that actually works in Murrieta — people who know the neighborhoods, know the common issues with homes in the area, and care about their reputation in the community.
• Licensed, insured, and experienced — we've done this a long time
• Honest pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges
• We tell you what you actually need, not what's most profitable for us
• Same-day plumbing service for most repair and installation calls
• Guaranteed workmanship on every job we complete

Serving Murrieta, Temecula, Wildomar, Menifee, Winchester, and surrounding communities in Orange & Riverside Counties.
A standard tank water heater usually runs for 8–12 years. Tankless units tend to last longer — often 15–20 years — as long as they're serviced regularly. If yours is getting close to that range and starting to give you trouble, it's worth having someone take a look before it fails.
For most homes in Murrieta, yes — especially if you're already due for a replacement. Tankless units cost more upfront, but you'll recover that over time through lower energy bills and fewer repairs. They're also a better fit if your household tends to run out of hot water during peak morning hours.
Generally, if your system is under 8 years old and the repair is straightforward, fixing it makes sense. Once you're past 10 years — especially if you're seeing multiple issues — replacement usually saves you money in the long run. We'll give you an honest assessment either way.
Don't put up with cold showers or a leaking water heater any longer than you have to. West Coast Plumbing and Drains Inc. is ready to help — whether you need a quick repair, a full replacement, or just want to know what's going on with your system.
