For those who live in
the tropics, water heaters are not needed and are usually only seen
in hotels, condominiums and such. However, for those of us in the
northern hemisphere, who regularly deal with colder temperatures
during much of the year, life without hot water is unimaginable.
If the unit you have at
home needs replacement, it is not a good idea to attempt a new water
heater installation yourself, unless you really know what you are
doing. Here are some reasons you should entrust water heater
installation to professionals.
Incorrect connections
of the electrical supply for an electric model can cause a fire or
problems with the thermostat. For gas water heaters, hooking up the
supply lines correctly is very important because gas leaks also put
your home at risk of fire and explosion of the gas fumes.
In addition, the water
pipes have to be connected to the right outlet of inlet for the
system to work properly. Of course, leaking pipes are something that
you don’t want. A professional plumber knows how to connect the
pipes correctly so that they don’t leak.
Like any other basic
utilities you have at home, your water heater is designed according
to codes that constantly change. The changes in the installation
codes are normally based on environmental and safety concerns.
Experts update themselves on these changes to make sure that their
work is safe for their clients.
