Remedios Manalo
Owner and licensed plumber
Owns the firm and reads every plan before it goes to a customer. Still goes out on gas cap-offs.
A plumbing firm built around the switch off gas
Manalo Plumbing is ten people in Stockton: plumbers, an install crew, two energy advisors and an office. Most of our work now is replacing a gas water heater with a heat pump and everything that goes with it.
The advisors come first. They do the home visit, check the panel and the space, and write the plan. The plumbers do the install. Nobody who does the work is learning the plan from a salesperson.
Who we work for
Owners who are switching from gas. Landlords who need a plan their tenants can read. Households in income-qualified programs, who often need more paperwork help than the heater itself.
The people
Who you will meet
Veasna Chea
Energy advisor
Does most home visits: measures the space, checks the panel and writes the plan. Talks it through in English or Khmer.
Berenice Meza
Energy advisor, rebates
Checks which programs are open to your address and household, and fills in the forms with you. Talks it through in English or Spanish.
Joel Arellano
Install lead
Leads the install crew: the gas cap, the circuit hookup, the drain and the test. Walks you through the new heater before leaving.
Talk to an advisor
Call or send a photo of your heater. We will say what the swap involves.
