Installation Process for New Water Heaters

Installing a new water heater involves a systematic process to ensure it is set up efficiently and safely. Here’s a breakdown of the key steps involved:

Step 1: Choosing the Right Model

Before installation, selecting the appropriate size and type of water heater based on household needs and energy preferences is crucial. This ensures the unit will adequately meet the hot water demands of the home.
