What Are the Steps for Completing a Water Heater Installation?

Investing in a new water heater can be equal parts exciting and daunting. It’s exciting because you know you’ll have a great new water heater that provides excellent service to your home. But it’s also daunting because any type of major project like that can be expensive and feel overwhelming. 

But when you give our team a call for water heater installation in Plymouth, we eliminate all of the guesswork. You can keep reading to learn more about the steps we take to help you with a water heater installation. That way you can feel confident in knowing that the project will be done correctly and that you’ll know what to expect every step of the way.

Assessment

Our very first step is to visit your home and complete an assessment of your current water heater and then outline your various options for upgrading. You can switch from the same type of water heater that you already have to a similar and newer model. 

Or you can switch completely from electric to gas or vice versa, or even invest in a tankless water heater. No matter what you decide, we can make sure that you understand all of your options completely, as well as the pros and cons of each one.

Removing the Old Unit

Once you make a decision, we will order all of the parts that we need for the installation. On the day of installation, our first step is to remove your existing water heater and any of the attached components that also need to be upgraded. 

We want to give your new water heater the best chance at an energy-efficient and long life. We will replace any lines that are older and wearing out along with any of the attached valves. Once we remove your old unit and do some cleanup, it’s time to move to the next step. 

Setting the Stage

We want to make sure your new water heater has a strong foundation and setup. First, we will upgrade any of the attachments leading from your home to where your water heater is. This may mean adjusting the foundation where your water heater sits for optimal effectiveness. We will also clear a work area for bringing in your new water heater and setting it up.

Installation

Now it’s finally time for the actual installation itself. It’s time for us to connect your new water heater and get it in place. We want to take our time during the step because how your water heater is set up during installation plays a major part in how efficient and effective it can be in the years to come.

Testing and Instruction

After everything is hooked up, we want to test your water heater and make sure it is working before we leave. We will turn on the hot water at each of the faucets around your home to make sure the water heater is getting your water as warm as you expect it to.
