When a water heater blows out, the effect on the property or business and the occupants of it is immediate. A water heater that leaks for a time or abruptly bursts could cause a lot of severe destruction. Also, with no functioning system, hot showers are impossible, and hot water gets required for appliances like dishwashers and washing machines. Everybody wants an updated water heater installed as soon as possible, if not earlier or later. Ottawa Plumbing Service is prepared to take your call in an emergency. We can also help in a non-urgent water heater scenario, such as the possibility of a minor leak or changing an old system that isn’t working any longer.
Life Expectations
The majority of traditional tank water heaters last between eight and 12 years. However, if your water heater is older than 10, it’s good to start considering a replacement. There are many aspects to be considered, including the make and model of regular maintenance, such as tank flushing and the hardness of flushing the tank in particular locations.
Water Heater Installation Process
You should make a few decisions to start the replacement process if you choose to replace your water heater. If there are no issues, an experienced plumber should be capable of completing the task in a few hours. You should expect this when buying and installing an entirely brand-new heater for your water.
1: Consulting with Trained Experts
Our service technicians will analyze the condition of your water heater and help you choose the most suitable water heater for your requirements and budget. It could mean replacing your existing water heater with a conventional tank, or we can provide tankless options. We also offer financing options.
2: Schedule the Appointment
As we stated earlier, an appointment will need to be scheduled if there is an urgent one. Even if not, the work must get done immediately to prevent any expensive failure.
3: Clear the Area Around the Heater
Be sure to remove all boxes or other items around the heater and in the vicinity so the technicians can access the heater.
4: Dispose of the Old Heater
Similar to installing a modern water heater uninstalling one takes some steps. The tank must be flushed, disconnected from the fuel or power source, and removed.
5: Installation of New Heater
Installing the new heater in your home and guiding it to the correct location takes some time. How much depends on where it’s situated and the entry point’s accessible. The tank has to connect to the power or fuel source. If it’s gas heaters, it will take longer because of the additional venting and safety measures. The plumber will inspect it and make necessary adjustments after the installation, and the tank gets filled with water.
It is vital to ensure you choose a certified and professionally licensed plumber to install your new water heater.
