Everything you need to know about water heater installation
Let's start out by stating the obvious: water and electricity don't mix very well. That's why it's best to hire a professional for any sort of water heater installation.
The process in and of itself is pretty simple if you have the right tools and experience. First, you'll need to drain and remove the old water heater, we'll talk more about that later on. Once the previous water heater has been removed, we need to install the heat trap fittings and connect the water lines. It's important that we make sure that there are no leaks, since we really don't want any of the electrical work to get wet. This is also important when dealing with gas and tankless water heaters.
Once the water lines are secured, we connect the gas line or electricity. Again, this is the part that can cause serious damage to the person installing the water heater, as well as the property around it. Make sure that all the connections are leak free and, if working with an electric water heater, that there are no exposed wires.
Let the tank fill up again and once full, start heating water. We want to use this time to double check all the connections and that there aren't any leaks.
