Hot Water System Installation

What’s involved in a typical gas hot water installation?

• Assessment and Planning: We begin by evaluating the installation site, taking into account the type of gas supply available (natural gas or propane) and the hot water needs of the household. We also check local building codes and regulations to ensure compliance.
• Preparation: We prepare the area for installation by shutting off the water supply and gas line and ensuring adequate ventilation around the installation site, which is crucial for gas appliances.
• Mounting the Unit: We will securely mount the gas hot water heater in the designated location, ensuring it is level and stable. 
• Plumbing Connections: We connect the cold water supply line to the inlet and the hot water outlet to the home’s plumbing system, using appropriate fittings and sealants to ensure all connections are tight and leak-free.
• Gas Connections: The next step involves connecting the gas supply line to the water heater. This requires careful handling and securing of the gas line to prevent leaks. 

What’s involved in a typical electrical hot water installation?

• Assessment and Planning: We begin by assessing the location for the hot water system, considering factors like accessibility, proximity to existing electrical connections, and local building codes. We may also discuss your hot water needs to recommend the appropriate size and type of system.
• Preparation: Before installation, we ensure that the area is clear and safe. We may need to shut off the main water supply and electricity to prevent any accidents during the installation process.
• Mounting the Unit: We will mount the electric hot water heater securely, typically on a wall or platform, ensuring it is level and stable and check for adequate ventilation.
• Plumbing Connections: Next, we connect the cold water supply line to the inlet of the hot water system and the hot water outlet to the home's plumbing system.
• Electrical Connections: The plumber then connects the unit to the electrical supply, adhering to safety standards and local regulations. This may involve wiring the system to a dedicated circuit, ensuring it can handle the unit’s power requirements.

What happens after my hot water installation?

Testing the System: After completing the installation, we turn on the water supply and power to the unit. We'll check for leaks and test the hot water system to ensure it heats water properly and operates efficiently.
