A Real Huntington Beach Success Story
A family near Warner Avenue by the Huntington Beach Sports Complex called us after struggling with high electric bills and constant hot water shortages. With three teenagers at home, their old electric water heater just couldn’t keep up.
Their garage was a great fit for a hybrid system, which needs airflow to work efficiently. We installed a new hybrid unit that same day, cutting their energy costs and boosting hot water capacity. A few weeks later, they reported nearly $80 in monthly savings—and no more cold showers.
