Tankless water heater, Lago Vista
Retired a 12-year-old 50-gallon tank and hung a Rinnai tankless on the garage wall. New gas line, venting, and recirculation loop so hot water arrives in under fifteen seconds.
03 / 06
Furnace tune-up, Texas City
Annual preventive service on an 80% Bryant gas furnace. Cleaned burners, checked heat exchanger, replaced the igniter prophylactically before the family needed it on the first cold snap.

Slab leak repair, Dickinson
Pinpointed a slow copper leak under a kitchen slab with acoustic detection, rerouted the line overhead through the attic, and patched the wall. No slab cut, no mess.

Our story
Three decades of showing up when the heat won’t quit.
Baker Distributing Company started in 1992 out of a single truck and a toolbox on Bay Street. Three generations later, we’re still the name Texas City neighbors call when the air conditioning quits at five o’clock on a Saturday, or the water heater lets go in the attic.
We’re not the cheapest call you can make, and we won’t pretend to be. What we will do is tell you exactly what’s wrong, what it costs to fix, and whether you actually need to fix it today. Most of the time, you don’t. That’s why people keep our number on the fridge.

Why call Baker
A Texas City crew that means what it puts in writing.
We’ve been doing this long enough to know that the cheapest quote usually costs the most by the second visit. So we don’t play that game. Here’s what you actually get when you call Baker Distributing.
Upfront quotes, no surprises
You see the price before we touch a tool. If the job changes mid-stream — and sometimes it does — we stop, explain, and re-quote. You’re never billed for something you didn’t agree to.
Same-day on most calls
Most non-emergency service calls booked before noon get a technician the same day. Genuine emergencies jump the line — we’ll tell you the window when you call, not when we arrive.
Licensed, insured, local
Texas Master Plumber license and TACLB HVAC certification on file. Fully insured, and every tech on our crew lives within twenty minutes of Texas City — they’re your neighbors too.
Two-year workmanship warranty
Our labor is guaranteed for two full years on installs. If something we touched fails because of how we installed it, we come back and make it right — no service fee, no argument.
Book a call
Let’s get your house comfortable again.
Tell us what’s going on — a funny noise, a leak, a system that just won’t keep up — and we’ll get back to you within the hour during business hours. For after-hours emergencies, call the on-call line and a real person picks up.
