Your water heater no longer works, and you prefer fixing it yourself. After all, social media videos make it look easy. However, an improper installation poses injury and health consequences for you and your family. A professional will install the water heater with no issues. These four reasons tell you why a professional is more suitable for the task than you are.
Education and Training
A water heater is challenging to install. You are dealing with electrical wires, gas lines, ventilation, and plumbing; a professional can handle all four. Additionally, there are makes and models of gas, electrical, and tankless water heaters from several companies. A trained plumber has the technology and tools to install it right without hurting themselves or your loved ones. Contact Top Notch Heating and Plumbing in Victor, Idaho to install your water heater.
Limited Warranty
When you install a water heater yourself, you get the manufacturer’s warranty. However, an improper installation voids it, so you have no protection. A professional gives you a company warranty along with the manufacturer’s warranty. If something goes wrong, at least one covers the cost of parts repair or replacement.
Fire, Burn, Explosion, and Carbon Monoxide Risk
All water heaters carry a burn risk when dealing with scalding hot water. Gas water heaters pose a risk of explosions, and electrical water heaters pose a fire risk. Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when the water heater has improper ventilation.
Safety Hazard
It’s also important to have a professional install your water heater to comply with city and state building codes. Improper installation violates them, leading to fines and penalties, and this jeopardizes home insurance claims and resale value.
Conversely, a professional knows how to carry the water heater into your home, haul the old one away, and dispose of it safely.
