⚠️ WATER HEATER OWNERS: A BIG CHANGE MAY BE COMING ⚠️

Today, if your water heater dies, you can walk into Home Depot and buy a basic replacement for around $600.

In just a few years, that may not be an option for many homeowners.

New federal efficiency standards expected around 2029 could push many traditional electric water heaters off the market and replace them with heat pump water heaters that can cost 2–4 times more.

That means:

💰 Higher replacement costs
🔧 More complex installations
🏠 Additional space and ventilation requirements
⏳ Longer replacement times when your water heater fails

Many homeowners have never even heard of a heat pump water heater, but the industry is already preparing for a major shift.

If your water heater quit tomorrow, would you rather replace it for $600 or $2,000+?

What do you think?

🔧 Plumbing Fix Story: Slow Drain could have Turned Into a Structural Job
Call (830) 280-1560
Texas Hill Country Tunnel & Drain Experts
We got called for a slow-draining kitchen sink that kept backing up. What seemed like a simple clog was much more once we investigated.
The 2-inch PVC drain line had no proper fall it was basically level with low spots (bellies) sagging in the pipe. Water trickled through slowly while solids and grease stayed behind, causing constant backups.
Crawling under the house, we found the line hanging too low. We raised the drain 8–10 inches in places and secured it with proper hangers to restore the correct slope for good flow.
We’re also installing cast piers under each beam to support the structure before finishing the patching and repairs. This ensures everything stays solid long-term.
This is why we dig deeper than just snaking the line. A real fix means finding the root cause and doing the job right the first time.
Dealing with slow drains or recurring backups? We’ll diagnose it properly and fix it thoroughly.

I find service calls to be a highly rewarding experience, as they provide me with the opportunity to engage with community members and build personal relationships. I would like to share some of the interesting experiences we encounter on a daily basis, which are unique and exciting sometimes.

🎉 Big News, Neighbors Murray Service Company is Now Proud Pops! 🎉
From the bottom of my heart, I want to share something very special with you.
We started Murray Service Company in 2021 in Sisterdale with one simple dream: honest plumbing service at fair prices, with great customer care and the best materials. We’ve been truly blessed — earning over 485 five-star reviews, supporting Fabra Elementary and many other schools, donating hot water heaters every Christmas to families in need, and giving back to Hill Country Daily Bread, Boerne Radio, the women shelter , Operation TRIAGE, our military veterans, first responders, and so much more.
My kids grew up here — going to Boerne Middle and now Boerne High School, where one is a senior and the other a sophomore. Brandon’s kids all graduated from Boerne High. This community has become family to us.
This was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made as a fifth-generation master plumber. But after watching private equity companies buy up so many local shops and drive prices sky high, I knew I had to protect what matters most — honest, fair, family-owned service.
What made it extremely easy and a true no-brainer is that I personally know Jacob McBee and Brandon Rackler. I know what they’ve done in the past, and I know their hearts. These are the men I learned true service from back in my early twenties. They taught me how to earn trust and respect — and how to earn every customer’s business with a handshake and a smile. That still means everything to them, and it means everything to me.
After weeks of heartfelt conversations, I’m proud to announce that Murray Service Company has merged with Proud Pops.
Proud Pops is a strong third-generation family business and now the largest privately owned home service company in the Texas Hill Country (and one of the largest in San Antonio). I get to work side-by-side with them every day, and I’ve been waking up excited to come to work for the past two weeks. It’s already been amazing — and it’s only going to get better.
One call fixes it all:
• Plumbing
• HVAC
• Electrical
• Generators
• Premium HALO WATER SYSTEMS
• Expert sewer & tunneling
• Coming soon: pipe relining (no digging under your house!)
All with amazing customer service, easy payment options, same-day service, and true 24/7 emergency help across Boerne, Fair Oaks, Comfort, Bandera, Kerrville, Fredericksburg, and the entire Texas Hill Country.
If you’re one of our original Murray customers or a longtime friend — call 210 CALL POP today and mention this post. I’ll personally make sure you get your HVAC tune-up as a heartfelt thank you from my family to yours.
We’re still the same honest, local team you trust — now with even more ways to take care of your home and family. The phones are ringing off the hook, and we can’t wait to serve you at the next level.
Thank you for being part of our story. You mean the world to us. Here’s to the next chapter together.
With gratitude and excitement 💪❤️
