Step-by-Step Hot Water Tank Installation in Pitt Meadows
01
Assessment & Consultation
Before the installation begins, we conduct a comprehensive consultation to determine:
What size tank fits your household needs.
Do you prefer an electric or gas hot water tank?
How many people live in your home and your water usage habits.
The condition of your current system, if you’re replacing one.
Our goal is to ensure you get the best fit for your home and budget.
02
Turning Off Utilities
Safety is our priority. Before we begin:
We turn off the water supply to prevent any accidental flooding.
We disconnect the electricity or gas supply to avoid any electrical hazards or gas leaks.
03
Draining and Removing the Old Tank
If you’re replacing your current unit:
We carefully drain the old tank to remove any residual water.
Disconnect power and water lines.
We safely remove and dispose of the old unit responsibly. You won’t have to worry about cleanup or waste.
04
Preparing the Installation Area
The area around your new water heater is critical:
We check the stability of the floor and leveling of the space to ensure proper support.
We ensure adequate clearance around the tank for maintenance.
- For gas units, we make sure the ventilation is up to code
We verify drainage and overflow requirements are met.
If updates are needed (like adding a drip pan), we take care of it.
05
Installing the New Hot Water Tank
Once the area is prepped, we:
Position the new tank securely and level it.
- Connect the cold water inlet and hot water outlet
For gas-powered tanks, we connect the gas lines. For electric models, we ensure electrical wiring is properly set up.
Install the temperature and pressure relief valves, as required by code.
Set up the drain line and ensure all parts are properly tightened.
06
Filling the Tank and Testing Connections
After installation:
We fill the tank with cold water and open hot water taps in the house to allow air to bleed out.
We double-check all connections for leaks.
07
Turning On Power or Gas
For electric tanks, we turn on the power. For gas models, we light the pilot and test the burners. Once the tank reaches the proper temperature, we ensure the thermostat is functioning properly.
08
Final Testing & Safety Checks
We don’t skip any steps:
Water temperature is checked for accuracy.
Relief valve operation is tested.
Gas or electric components (burners, elements) are checked.
Safety checks are performed on electrical and gas lines.
We confirm proper drainage and venting.
We test the unit for overall functionality and listen for any unusual noises.
