Water Heater Installation or Replacement
What's included in this service?
- Remove old water heater (45-60 minutes). As easy as this sounds, there’s really several steps that need to be taken to ensure safe removal -disconnecting the power source, draining the tank, disconnecting the water supply lines and the actual removal of the tank.
- Position new customer-supplied water heater in place (approximately 30 minutes). Bringing in the new tank, removing from the box and maneuvering it into place takes a bit of time.
- Connecting the system (45-60 minutes). Once in place, the tank needs to be connected to the water and power sources. This might take a bit longer if it’s a gas unit. After the water heater installation, the plumber will test it and adjust the settings. Ask about basic system maintenance and how you can do simple adjustments on your own.
- Some areas require special permits for this service. Depending on your location, our service provider may need to acquire proper documents at an additional cost. Those costs are not included as part of this service.
How do I know I need a new water heater?
Several signs could indicate your water heater may be failing: water buildup in or around your water heater, water quality issues, or a reduction in the temperature or supply of hot water. An in-home inspection can help determine whether or not you need to install a new water heater.
Can I install a water heater myself?
We always recommend that you have your water heater installed by an experienced, licensed service professional.
What happens after I order ths service?
You'll get an email or call from our service provider to confirm the date, time, and other details or your water heater installation service. Please respond with any special requests, issues, or other important information. This includes providing the service provider with make and model of water heater, whether gas, electric, tankless, number of gallons capacity, etc. Please provide as much information as you can.
Most of our customers are very pleased with this service. We will do everything possible to insure a smooth install.
Please follow up with the service provider, if, after 24 hours, you notice that water is too hot, or not hot enough. Especially, with tankless water heaters, you need to run the water from the furthest sink away from the water heater, for over 60 seconds, to make sure the water does not get cold again. This is due to pressure settings in the tankless heater, that may need to be adjusted. Usually, the plumber can check that, immediately after the installation is complete.
