A.O. Smith Water Heater Installation in Hayward & the East Bay

A.O. Smith tanks and heat pump units, installed and serviced by our own plumbers. Licensed, insured and bonded, CSLB #1156315. Open 24/7.

A.O. Smith has been building water heaters for decades and makes a big share of the tanks sold in the U.S. — including the Signature line sold at Lowe's and the State water heater brand.

We install and service A.O. Smith gas and electric tank water heaters and the Voltex hybrid heat pump models, for homes and small commercial spaces from Hayward to the Tri-Valley.

What we install and service

  • A.O. Smith gas tank water heaters, 40 to 75 gallon
  • Electric tanks, including Signature models from Lowe's
  • Voltex hybrid heat pump water heaters
  • State water heaters (A.O. Smith's sister brand)
  • Repairs, flushes, anode and thermocouple replacement

Hard water and your tank

In parts of the East Bay, especially the Tri-Valley, hard water builds sediment fast. That shortens the life of any tank. A yearly flush and checking the anode rod keeps an A.O. Smith running closer to its full life.

Why East Bay homeowners call us

  • Our own licensed plumbers do the work, not subcontractors
  • Family-owned in Hayward since 2006
  • Free estimates and a written price before work starts
  • Five-year warranty on our workmanship
  • Open 24 hours, 7 days a week

We install and service A.O. Smith products. Friendly Services is an independent plumbing company; brand names belong to their owners.

A.O. Smith questions

Will you install an A.O. Smith I bought at Lowe's?

Yes. We install customer-supplied units and cover our workmanship. The equipment warranty stays with the manufacturer.

Do you service State water heaters too?

Yes. State is made by A.O. Smith and we install and repair both.

What size A.O. Smith tank do I need?

A 40 gallon tank suits most 2–3 bedroom homes. Four bedrooms or back-to-back showers usually call for 50. We'll size it when we see the house.

Is haul-away of the old tank included?

Yes. Our installed price includes removing and disposing of the old water heater.

Questions first?

Not sure what you need?

Call and describe your setup. If you don't need to replace it yet, we'll tell you that.
