Water Heater Installation Process
Upon arrival our technician will begin to inspect the water heater. He will run some basic tests and he will check to make sure the water heater is in compliance with current safety regulations. The plumber will then go over everything with you, present your options, answer questions and will quote the job upfront before he proceeds with the water heater installation.
A typical water heater installation will take between 2 and 4 hours depending on the amount of work that needs to be done.
Brand new installation of 50 gallon Bradford White gas water heater
All of our water heater installations include delivery and install of the new Bradford White gas water heater as well as haul away and disposal of the old water heater tank. We will also update and bring up to code all of the components including new water lines, gas flex hose, gas sediment trap, drip pan, expansion tank and earthquake straps.
Water Heater Life Expectancy
Conventional water heaters usually last about 10-15 years and tankless heaters have a life expectancy of 15-20 years, however hard water will shorten the life of any water heater but regular maintenance will prolong it. Some perks about tank water heaters are that they don’t require regular maintenance and as long as you go with a reliable brand such as Bradford White, you should be able to get long term use out of your new tank water heater.
Tankless water heaters are great if you’re looking to save space but they will require an annual flush to ensure the manufacturer warranty remains valid and to prolong the life of the tankless water heater. We recommend Navien or Noritz for tankless heaters. Ask your Efficient Plumbing and Water Heater professional about what option makes the most sense for you.
Water Heater Warranty
Efficient Plumbing and Water Heaters currently offers a warranty on all of our installations which includes:
1 year warranty on labor
6 year Standard Manufacturer’s Warranty on the Water Heater itself
All Water Heater Installations Follow Current Plumbing Codes
Efficient Plumbing and Water Heaters makes sure that every water heater installation is done safely and up to code. Water Heater Installation safety includes:
- Earthquake strapping: In earthquake zones such as the state of California, your water heater must have approved earthquake straps installed to secure the water heater and help prevent severe damage and fire in the event of an earthquake. If approved straps are already installed, we can re-use them.
- Pressure and Temperature Relief Line: Depending on your location, you may be required to pipe your P&T relief line to an exterior or approved location. This is to prevent very hot water from scalding the resident.
- Expansion Tanks: Expansion tanks are required in some areas when your home is on what is called a “closed” water system. On a closed system, when water is heated, thermal expansion can cause rapid increases and decreases in system pressure which cause wear and tear on the tank and on all of your plumbing. An expansion tank prevents this from occurring and in many cases can even double the life of the water heater.
- Pan and drain: A water heater pan and drain are required to protect your drywall and wood foundation from water damage in case of a water heater leak.
- Adequate venting: Your water heater vents Carbon Monoxide (CO) and must be vented safely to prevent CO from leaking into your home. If the energy input on the new heater is greater than the old heater, we may need to upsize some portion of your venting. This is important for your safety.
- Stand: Although new water heaters have sealed combustion chambers, many cities still require that your water heater is elevated off of the ground. In many cases, the city has additional requirements around what type of material the stand may be made of. Most of our water heaters are “FVIR” or flammable vapor ignition resistant, which technically does not need to be put on a stand. Many cities are still learning about these new, safer heaters and still require us to elevate your tank.
Drip leg: Many manufacturers require that we place a sediment trap or drip leg on the gas line into the water heater as close to the inlet as possible. This is to prevent moisture and debris from entering the firing chamber of the water heater.
