Water Heater Installation Process

Simple Installation, Done Right

First, we assess your current setup and hot water needs. This includes looking at your household size, usage patterns, and existing plumbing configuration. We’ll recommend the right size and type of water heater for your situation.

Next comes the installation itself. We handle all the connections, venting, and code requirements. For tankless installations, this might include upgrading gas lines or electrical service. For tank replacements, we ensure proper clearances and safety features.

Finally, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through the new system. You’ll know how it operates, what maintenance it needs, and how to spot potential issues early. We clean up completely and haul away your old unit.

How long does water heater installation take in Red Corral?

Most standard water heater replacements take 3-4 hours from start to finish. Tankless installations can take 6-8 hours, especially if we need to upgrade gas lines or electrical service. First-time tankless installations often require additional work for proper venting and utility connections. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate after seeing your specific setup. Mountain homes sometimes present unique challenges that can add time, but we account for these during our initial assessment.
It depends on your hot water usage and home setup. Tankless units work great for consistent, moderate use and save space. They’re ideal if you have natural gas available and don’t mind the higher upfront cost. Traditional tanks handle high-demand situations better and cost less initially. For vacation rentals with unpredictable usage, tanks often make more sense. We’ll look at your specific situation and recommend what actually fits your needs and budget, not just the most expensive option.
Size depends on your household’s peak hot water demand, not just the number of people. We calculate based on simultaneous usage – showers, dishwasher, washing machine running at the same time. A family of four typically needs a 50-gallon tank or equivalent tankless capacity. Vacation rentals often need larger capacity for back-to-back usage. Mountain homes with radiant heating may have different requirements. We measure your actual usage patterns and size accordingly, so you’re not paying for capacity you don’t need.
Yes, we pull all necessary permits and coordinate inspections as required by local code. Red Corral and surrounding areas have specific requirements for water heater installations, especially for gas units and tankless systems. We know what inspectors look for and ensure everything passes the first time. This includes proper clearances, venting, earthquake straps, and safety shutoffs. You don’t need to deal with the paperwork or scheduling – we handle the entire permit process as part of our installation service.
You’re covered by both manufacturer warranty on the equipment and our labor warranty on the installation work. Most water heaters come with 6-12 year manufacturer warranties on the tank and parts. Our installation work is guaranteed for one year. If something goes wrong due to installation issues, we fix it at no charge. For equipment failures under manufacturer warranty, we coordinate warranty service and handle the paperwork. We also provide emergency service for urgent issues that can’t wait for regular business hours.
Yes, we work year-round and understand the challenges of winter installations in mountain areas. Cold weather can affect installation time and require extra precautions, but we’re equipped for these conditions. We take steps to prevent pipes from freezing during installation and ensure your home stays warm throughout the process. Emergency installations are available even in severe weather – we know you can’t go without hot water when it’s freezing outside. Our trucks carry the equipment needed for winter work, and we’ve handled installations in all kinds of mountain weather.
