Step-by-Step Hot Water Tank Installation Process in Port Moody
01
Assessment & Consultation
Before we begin, we conduct a thorough on-site assessment or virtual consultation:
- What size of tank do you need for your household?
- Gas or electric system?
- How much hot water do you use daily? (showers, laundry, dishes, etc.)
- Is your current system failing, or is it time for a fresh install?
We help you choose the best system for your needs, ensuring it’s energy-efficient and suited to Port Moody’s climate.
02
Turning Off Utilities
Safety is our top priority, so we turn off the necessary utilities:
- Electricity or gas supply
- Water supply
This precaution ensures no risk of gas leaks, water damage, or electrical hazards during installation.
03
Draining and Removing the Old Tank
When replacing an old tank, we handle the removal process:
- Drain the tank using a hose to remove all water.
- Disconnect all water lines and power.
- Safely remove and dispose of the old unit (no mess left behind!).
04
Preparing the Installation Area
We ensure that the space is ready for your new hot water tank:
- Check for floor stability and leveling.
- Ensure adequate clearance around the tank for future maintenance.
- Ventilation checks for gas models.
We also ensure proper drainage, including installation of a drip pan or any necessary updates to fit your home’s needs.
05
Installing the New Hot Water Tank
Installation day is when we bring everything together:
- We position and level the tank carefully.
- Connect cold and hot water lines.
- Install the necessary gas or electrical components (according to your tank type).
- Install and test temperature and pressure relief valves to ensure everything is safe and functional.
06
Filling the Tank and Testing Connections
After installation:
- We fill the tank with cold water and check for leaks.
- Open hot water taps to bleed air from the system and ensure everything is connected properly.
07
Turning On Power or Gas
Once the tank is filled:
- For electric models, we power the unit up.
- For gas models, we light the pilot and check the burners.
We ensure the system reaches the desired temperature and test the thermostat for optimal performance.
08
Final Testing & Safety Checks
A final round of checks ensures the system operates perfectly:
- Test water temperature.
- Confirm the relief valve is working.
- Ensure no leaks, burner issues, or electrical problems.
