Water Heater Install

Switching out your old water heater to install a new working water heater is not an easy task for any San Diego homeowner. When repairing the old water heater is no longer an option, call a professional for the installation of the new water heater and you can trust they will have the expert training and correct tools to satisfactorily complete the water heater install for your San Diego home.

Water Heater Install Instructions

1. Turn off your water, electricity, or gas supply that is supplying the existing water heater with energy.


2. Use a dolly to carry your old unit out and move your new one in because they can be too heavy to life.


3. Connect the pipes and controls back to the old location, but make sure there is a 6-inch area surrounding the heater and that it is free from flammable items.


4. While fixing the new lines together, connect the blue fitting with the cold line and the red fitting with the hot line.


5. Install the shut off valve.


6. Turn on the relief valve to power up the heat and control the air pressure.


7. Connect to power supply.


8. Open the shutoff valve to fill water in the heater.


9. Open the hot water faucets to clear the pipes of any existing air.

Traditional Water Heaters vs. Tankless Water Heaters

• Energy Considerations: Tankless water heater installs are slightly costlier because of the higher value of the actual unit, but you end up saving more money in the long run by drastically reducing the amount of wasted energy that is burned to keep the water warm. This will save you money on your monthly energy bills.


• New Fixtures: Tankless water heaters are very different in how they look and how they run compared to traditional water heater tanks. When installing a new tankless water heater to your San Diego home you may need to equip yourself with new fixtures that are required for the right kind of installation needed.
