How to Install a Gas Water Heater

Most homeowners will prefer to entrust gas water heater installation to a professional. This is someone that understands gas water heater replacement and installation, with a track record of providing these services to several clients. Therefore, you will be sure that they will do an easy replacement job for commercial water heaters. But you can also choose to replace your electric water heater. However, there is a catch. You will need to follow some systematic steps to ensure your water heater is well installed. So how do you ensure that is the case? You need to start by checking the labels on old tanks, assessing if the venting works, and checking the home water pressure. If there is a problem bring on board an expert. The expert will correct the venting and ensure the pressure is up to the required standard.

If the old gas water heater is faulty, you will need to replace it with a new one. The first step is to turn off the gas and disconnect the gas pipe from the control valve. The next step is to inspect the vent and replace it when the need arises. Open the faucet and let the water run until it is cool. When the tank is empty you can now remove the discharge pipe. You can now get ready to install the new water heater.
