Your water heater is an appliance you probably do not think much about until your shower turns ice cold. Then, you’ll need to find a replacement. If it is finally time for a new water heater installation, keep in mind it is not a DIY job.

Review why water heater installation is something that should always be left to the professionals:

• Safety: Water heaters operate via gas or electricity. A problem with your home’s gas system could have fatal consequences, while an electrical issue is also highly problematic and may result in serious injuries. A professional experienced in water heater installation is therefore essential to help you maintain a safe residence.

• Insurance: Incorrect water heater installation can result in property damage. If you installed the heater yourself, you will have to pay out of your own pocket to repair the damaged sections of your home. Professional plumbers generally carry insurance that will cover any resulting damages.

• Money: Installing your water heater yourself may seem like a way to save money on having a plumber come over. However, any mistakes you make will end up costing you more in repairs. Save yourself the hassle by opting for a professional installation.
