How do I know my street is covered?

Your ZIP is the quickest check. The quote form accepts 78130, 78132, 78133, 78163 and 78070 and sends straight away.

A ZIP outside those isn't sent. Call or text (830) 243-5644 instead, and we'll tell you at once whether someone can come out to you.

Why does the neighborhood matter?

Which fuel and which water your home has depends on where it sits, and that shapes the job. The City's utilities page (opens in a new tab) lays out the split; check at your own meters rather than assume.

• Electric: New Braunfels Utilities (NBU) serves the majority of the city; Guadalupe Valley Electric Cooperative (GVEC) the area south of County Line Road; Pedernales Electric west out FM 306.
• Gas: CenterPoint Energy serves many areas of the city, though not all parts receive natural gas service.
• Water: NBU serves most of the city; Crystal Clear Water Supply Corporation (WSC) the northeast; Springs Hill WSC along SH 46 South; Canyon Lake Water Service Company out FM 306 west; Green Valley Special Utility District (SUD) the southeast.

Does the age of the house change anything?

Often, yes. In Texas generally, older homes tend to keep the water heater in an interior closet, while homes of the last few decades often put it in the attic or garage. Where yours sits decides whether a drain pan is required and how easy the swap will be.

The spread of ages here is wide. Downtown and Landa Park Estates date back to the 1930s, Northwest Crossing was built from 2004 to 2010, and Mayfair broke ground in 2022. Canyon Lake sits about 20 miles north-northwest of downtown.

Each neighborhood page covers the streets, the era of the homes and what that tends to mean for a water heater there. Whatever the neighborhood, you'll get a price before any work starts.
