- Evaluate your current water heater location, hookups, and clearances
- Confirm the right size and type for your household’s hot water demand
- Review energy efficiency (UEF) ratings, venting requirements, and compliance with current federal standards
- Provide plumbing estimates based on what we see onsite (no guessing)
- Complete installation using proper fittings and connections for your setup
