Can I install a water heater by myself safely and correctly?

You can, but it’s not recommended. Water heaters can be hazardous if installed wrong, with electrocution risk on electric units and explosion risk on gas units. Our licensed technicians in Bloomington and Martinsville handle sizing, permits, and code compliance, and installations come with 1-year labor and product warranties. Professional installation also helps prevent leaks, drain issues, and safety valve problems.

Quick checks if you’re considering DIY:

• Verify local permit and inspection needs.
• Safely shut off gas/electric and water.
• Confirm proper venting and pressure relief valve setup.
