Tank water heater installation
Tank-style water heaters remain a choice for residential properties. These systems keep a supply of water available inside an insulated storage tank. Installation requires attention to water connections, temperature controls, pressure relief equipment, drainage and the appropriate energy source. The installer should also make sure the unit sits securely and has clearance for safe operation and future maintenance.
Tankless water heater installation
Tankless systems work differently because they heat water when a fixture creates demand. Their compact design can save space. Installation may require specific electrical, gas, venting or plumbing considerations. The system must have capacity to handle the property’s expected flow rate.
