Step-by-Step Hot Water Tank Installation in Surrey
01
Assessment & Consultation
The first step is understanding your needs:
- What is the right size tank for your home?
- Do you prefer an electric or gas model?
- How many people are in your household, and how much water do you use daily (showers, dishes, laundry)?
- If you’re replacing a tank, we’ll also assess the condition of your current system.
- We ensure you get the best fit for your budget and water usage requirements.
02
Turning Off Utilities
Safety is key during installation:
- We shut off the water supply to avoid any water damage.
- We also disconnect the electricity or gas supply to prevent electrical hazards or gas leaks.
03
Draining and Removing the Old Tank
If you’re replacing an old unit:
- We drain the existing tank, carefully removing all the water.
- We safely disconnect power and water lines.
- The old tank is then removed and disposed of properly, with no mess left behind.
04
Preparing the Installation Area
Proper preparation is essential for a successful installation:
- We check the floor for stability and ensure the space is level to securely support the tank.
- We make sure there’s adequate clearance for proper maintenance access.
- For gas models, we ensure ventilation complies with local codes.
- We check for drainage and ensure the overflow valve is properly positioned.
- If necessary, we’ll also install a drip pan or make any plumbing adjustments.
05
Installing the New Hot Water Tank
After preparation, we begin the installation:
- We carefully position the new tank and connect the cold water inlet and hot water outlet.
- Depending on the model, we connect electric wires for electric tanks or gas lines for gas-powered systems.
- The temperature and pressure relief valve is installed as per safety codes.
- We set up the drain line and make sure everything is securely tightened.
06
Filling the Tank and Testing Connections
Once installed, we fill the tank with cold water:
- We bleed the air by opening hot water taps in the house.
- We perform a thorough leak check to ensure all connections are secure.
07
Turning On Power or Gas
With the tank full:
- For electric units, we turn on the power.
- For gas models, we light the pilot and test the burners to ensure proper function.
08
Final Testing & Safety Checks
After the unit powers up, we perform the final checks:
- We ensure the water temperature is set correctly.
- We test the temperature and pressure relief valve for safety.
- We check the operation of the burners or elements.
- We ensure that electrical connections are secure and that gas lines are leak-free.
