How A Palm Springs Plumber Takes The Hassle Out Of Water Heater Installations

By Kurt Saniel


Hiring a Palm Springs CA plumber makes a lot of sense when you need to have a water heater installed. Many people try to do plumbing projects themselves and end up calling a professional to finish or correct their work. Often, the thought is that doing the project yourself will save money and time. This type of installation is something that should be left to the plumbing professional.

A skilled technician will be aware of the various city and state regulations governing this type of job. In addition, an install that is not done correctly can result in property damage. Licensed plumbers will also have the necessary tools to do the job completely.

The reputable plumbing company will also have the skill to complete these types of installations. Many city regulations require plans in order to install a water heater. The professional will know how to work with heaters that are located in attic, garages, or inside a closet.

In addition, the skilled individual knows how to correctly install the piping for pressure relief valves. Many folks have no idea that this valve must be piped to the outside and often leave it on the top of the heater. This creates a very hazardous situation that can be avoided.

If the heater is electric there are electrical concerns that also need to be considered. For example, electric water heaters can short out damaging the system or cause fire. The skilled professional knows how to install the tank correctly.

Similarly, if you want to install a gas heater you need to make certain it is vented properly. A professional will make certain that it is installed right and that it is safe. Some cities require that the tank is at least 1 and a half feet from the garage floor avoiding gas fumes from catching fire. Hiring a plumber will ensure all aspects of install are done correctly.
