Your hot water heater plays an essential role in your home
Water Heater Installation
Installing a water heater correctly is crucial. A wrongly installed water heater could lead to costly and extensive electrical or gas problems, damaging your home and making it unsafe until the issues are fixed. With the water heater being your primary source of hot water, you want to make sure it gets installed right the first time. Leave the task to the professionals at Elevate Home Services to ensure the process runs smoothly. Our experts use their extensive plumbing knowledge to install your water heater properly in Southwest Florida region.
The following information will help you better understand the basics of the process.
Water Heater Installation Process
First, it’s worth noting that there isn’t just one type of water heater.
The installation process for a tankless water heater for instance, will definitely vary from the installation process for a standard tank-based model.
The following are key steps for installing a traditional water heater:
1. Remove the Old Water Heater
The first step involves getting your old water heater out of the house. Turn off all water to it, as well as the gas. Attach a garden hose to the drain valve to drain any remaining water in the tank.
Be EXTREMELY careful when doing so.
The water will be very hot and could cause serious harm to yourself and your property if you’re not careful. Once all water has been drained, consult the owner’s manual to learn how to disassemble the tank and disconnect it from both your plumbing system and gas supply.
Obviously, removing the tank will require help for safety reasons.
2. Install the New Water Heater
To install a new hot water heater, you may have to insert new copper adapters into certain essential connection points.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions accordingly. Once the new copper adapters have been installed, you’ll move the tank into place and solder the connections to the other copper pipes. Reconnect the vent and gas valve before testing the unit.
3. Test the New Water Heater
Once all the proper connections have been made, you can turn both the gas and water back on.
After you’ve given the tank sufficient time to heat up a supply of water (refer to the manufacturer’s instructions), test the hot water to ensure it’s working properly.
The Importance of Professional Help When Installing a Water Heater
Installing any plumbing fixture is easier with the help of qualified experts.
It’s especially smart to hire professionals when installing a new water heater. Attaching a water heater to your plumbing and gas system can be difficult if you don’t have the proper training or tools. Additionally, you could risk:
- Causing a fire by having an overloaded electrical circuit.
- Getting carbon monoxide poisoning from a gas leak.
- Blowing fuses and tripping circuit breakers.

As being a retired electrical contractor since 1980 and real estate investor, I was impressed, they gave me next day service, called me when in route, called me when completed, and billing was more than fair, unlike those companies that do flat rates.
Jerry S.
From the office personnel to the installation. The office staff were courteous and professional, Josh, the salesman, was here the next day and gave me a quote right away that was very fair and, I think, quite competitive. Joe and Reuben, the installers, came two days later to do the installation. They were very knowledgeable, courteous and professional and did a fantastic job. They represented your company extremely well. I love the Bryant package unit, recommended by Josh, it's attractive, efficient and quiet. Thanks to all.

We’ve dealt the the Griffith company for 20 years and Larry made us feel comfortable with the merging of companies that is happening. We are looking forward to having our new AC installed and the continuing excellence of service we’ve experienced from this company over the years.
