Gas water heaters need to be placed with precision in mind to ensure they will operate safely and effectively. Incorrect couplings, particularly in the gas line or venting system, might result in dangerous gas leaks. Natural gas is very flammable, and even a minor leak can result in a fire or explosion. Additionally, poor venting can lead to the buildup of carbon monoxide—a colorless, odorless gas that, when inhaled over time, can cause serious sickness or death.
Aside from safety, correct connecting affects energy efficiency. A poorly connected water heater may consume more gas than is required, raising utility expenses. Poor installation can also strain the unit, shortening its lifespan and requiring frequent repair.
When you contact us about gas water heater hookups, we will thoroughly assess the situation and create a plan that works best, ensuring the installation is up to code, that all connections are secure, that venting is appropriate, and that the system is leak-tested before we go.
