Hot Water Recirculation Pump in San Diego: Costs and Types

A hot water recirculation pump gets hot water to your tap in seconds instead of minutes, and in most San Diego homes a plumber can install one in a few hours for $400 to $1,500, depending on the type.

San Diego’s sprawling single-story layouts, plus the ADUs that keep getting added to backyards, mean long pipe runs between the water heater and the farthest bathroom. That’s a lot of cold water running down the drain every morning. A water heater service visit is the right time to ask whether a recirculation pump makes sense for the layout, since the plumber is already looking at the whole hot water system.
