What to consider when replacing or installing a water heater
The fuel sources
There are two types of fuel sources. You can either use the electric option or gas. There are several factors to consider when settling for this. You can look at the availability, cost of installation, cost of maintenance, reviews of people already using the options within your area, and the opinion of the consultant who you have hired to do the installation.
V MAX offers consultation services to help with decisions such as the choice of fuel source for a water heater installation or replacement.
Storage capacity
The water heaters come in different sizes. You should determine what best meets your needs depending on what is available to you. Furthermore, there is the aspect of cost to consider when deciding on what capacity to go for.
Finally, space availability also plays a vital role in determining what storage capacity suits your needs best. At V MAX, we do site visits and offer consultation to best advise our clientele on what works best for them.
The tank types
Before deciding on the installation, you must consider the tank type. You determine if you will work with a tank for your water heater or want a tankless water heater. Such a decision requires proper consultation which is where V MAX comes in handy.
Determining the cost of water heater installation service
The Water heater installation service cost varies depending on different factors. At V MAX we consider the following factors to ensure we give you the best price.
Cost of materials and products
Before installation, we schedule a consultation session during which the water installation project is discussed, and the requirements are determined. There are broadly two types of water heater installation projects that are common.
Clients either want to replace an existing water heater or completely install a new one. There are clients who buy the new water heater in advance and want it installed separately. However, other clients prefer that the whole process is done by us.
In the latter case, we do in-home consultation where we give a quotation on the cost of the products and materials for the installation.
The type of installation service
The level of complexity involved with the installation also plays a vital role in determining the cost of the service. There are basic water heater installation tasks such as properly disconnecting an existing unit, putting up a new unit, delivering a new water heater unit, and testing a new unit to ensure it is properly installed.
Such basic installation tasks are not costly. However, as the complexity of the task increases, there are additional charges.
Cost of associated permits
Local governments of the cities and municipalities issue permit for any plumbing services. The law requires a local plumbing inspector to visit and check any installation works.
Such visits are to ensure safely executed installation within the confines of plumbing standards and codes. The permits are required for water heater replacements. Prices of such permits vary with the municipality, city, or state. V MAX can help you with the permit process.
Ensuring the system is up to code
Once V MAX has done the water heater installation, they help you through the final inspection. The process is often the last one involved. After the inspection, the water heater replacement or installation service rendered by V MAX is complete.
