Need a New Water Heater

A lot of people choose to install their own water heater. While it can be done, the safer and less time consuming option would be to have a professional install it for you. This is one of the many services we are happy to provide our customers. Here is why you should consider calling us when it comes to the installation of your new water heater.

Step 1: If you look online, step one of installing a new water heater is to remove the old one; this seems obvious and perhaps even a simple task. But, according to one DIY website, it's as simple as first thought. First, you need to make sure you have a fire extinguisher close by. Second, you need to shut off the gas valve, make sure the pilot light dies out, and then determine whether or not any gas has leaked. If no gas has leaked you can move on to the next step.

Step 2: Drain the water. This doesn't seem like a big deal, but within this process you need to disconnect the gas pipe, again make sure there isn't a gas leak, and then disconnect the hot and cold pipes. You need to make sure to turn off the main water valve and follow even more steps involving wrenches and various other tools.

Step 3: Installation of the new water heater. Now, to the novice, this can seem a daunting and dangerous task. But even someone who has had some experience may have a hard time with installing a new water heater. Our plumbers, though, have years of experience working with these tools and with installing water heaters. We offer safe, fast service to our customers. Save yourself the hassle and give us a call today to install your new water heater.
