Step-by-Step: Hot Water Tank Replacement in Pitt Meadows
01
Initial Assessment
We begin with a thorough inspection of your current hot water system:
- Type of tank (gas, electric, or hybrid)
- Tank size and capacity
- Location of installation
Any plumbing or code concerns
We’ll then guide you in choosing the best replacement unit based on your home’s requirements and the climate needs in Pitt Meadows, where efficient water heating is crucial during colder months.
02
Shutting Off Utilities
Your safety is our priority. Before any work begins, we:
- Shut off the gas or electricity
- Turn off the cold water supply
This ensures that there is no risk of electric shock, gas leaks, or flooding during the removal and installation process.
03
Draining the Old Tank
Once all utilities are safely turned off, we drain the water from the old tank:
- Using a hose, we remove all remaining water from the tank.
- This prevents any water from spilling during removal.
If your old tank is leaking or has rust, we take extra care to avoid water damage to your floors and surrounding areas.
04
Disconnecting and Removing the Old Tank
After draining:
- We disconnect all water lines, electrical connections (for electric units), and venting (for gas models).
- We safely remove the old tank from your property.
- Disposal is on us—we’ll handle the recycling and ensure the old tank is disposed of responsibly.
05
Preparing for the New Tank
Before installing the new unit, we:
- Inspect the floor and wall structure for proper support
- Ensure the area is free of obstructions
- Update any necessary plumbing connections or venting systems
- Flush the pipes if there is mineral buildup that could affect the new tank’s efficiency
We also ensure the area meets current safety and code standards.
06
Installing the New Tank
Now it’s time to install your new hot water tank:
- We position the tank in place and connect the cold water inlet and hot water outlet.
- For electric tanks, we hook up the electrical wiring. For gas units, we connect the gas lines.
- We install the temperature and pressure relief valve (TPR valve) to ensure safe operation.
- We check the level and stability of the tank to ensure it is securely installed.
07
Filling and Testing the Tank
Once the new tank is in place, we:
- Open the water supply to fill the tank.
- Bleed the air from the system by turning on a hot water tap.
- Check every connection point for leaks.
- We turn on the power (for electric units) or ignite the gas (for gas units).
- Test the thermostat settings and verify the water temperature to ensure proper operation.
08
Final Safety Check & Walkthrough
After installation:
- We perform a thorough safety inspection of the entire system.
- We explain how to operate your new tank, adjust settings, and maintain it for optimal performance.
- We provide you with a user manual, warranty information, and maintenance tips.
- Finally, we clean up the work area and make sure everything is left in perfect condition.
