Why A Professional Should Always Install A Water Heater (Part 1)

Why You Should Buy A Water Heater From A Professional Installer

‘Tis the season – the season for buying a water heater.

Some people try and install their water heater themselves. Unless you know exactly what you’re doing, we do not recommend that you install a water heater yourself. Incorrect installation is the leading cause of problems with water heaters. There are many issues to take into account when installing a water heater – compliance with local building codes is just one of them.
If you compromise on safety issues, you can cause property damage or personal injuries. Don’t take risks – we strongly advise you to read this article and hire a professional installer to deal with your water heater.

1. EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE - ONLY A PROFESSIONAL HAS BOTH

Professionals know exactly what they’re doing. And it takes years to know all that information. A professional installs water heaters every day – they do it for a living. Call and trained water heater professional – he knows exactly what to do.

2. SAFETY IS VITAL – USE A PROFESSIONAL

Certain features are available only to professionals. Bradford White’s Defender Safety System is an example of a feature which is only available to professional installers, who have the skill, the knowledge, and the experience to make sure you get the right water heater, one which is designed to be safe if correctly installed. When you use a professional, you get peace of mind.

3. WE WARRANTY ALL OUR WORK

Mr. Speedy provides an exclusive warranty to all our customers in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty. If you do not buy the water heater from us, some elements in the warranty may become invalid.

4. A PROFESSIONAL WILL INSTALL YOUR WATER HEATER CORRECTLY

Installing a water heater is difficult.  If you don’t know exactly what you’re doing, you could make a number of serious mistakes, like damaging fragile parts, not leaving adequate venting, cross-threading gas connections, or not using adequate earthquake strapping in areas where this might be necessary and is part of the local building code for that area.

5. PROPER VENTING IS IMPORTANT – A PROFESSIONAL KNOWS THIS

A gas-powered water heater must be correctly vented according to the manufacturer's specifications. If your vent is the wrong size, length or configuration, it can lead to serious consequences, including a dangerous accumulation of carbon monoxide inside your home.

Always call A local Plumber nearby to solve the plumbing repairs you can not fix.
