The average lifespan of a water heater is somewhere around eight to twelve years. There is nothing worse than discovering those long, hot showers that people are quite fond of taking can no longer stay hot. It is possible that your hot water heater has sprung a leak or simple it has just stopped working. Regardless of the reason why, you should get a replacement installed by calling a plumber. High Point Residents should be made aware of how a plumber goes about removing the old water heating unit and installs a new one. An average family of four with two showers will use a sixty five gallon unit to give you an idea of the size of heater you will need.
The Removal Process
Depending on the type of energy that your water heater consumes, there different steps for removal. Depending on your system, plummers turn off the gas or the electricity to the unit so they do not hurt themselves when they go to take away the heater. The next step for a plumber, High Point residents will have to turn off the water supply as well as get rid of all of the hot water in the tank by draining it. Pipes will be hard-plumbed, which requires cutting the line, or connection with water heater connector hoses. Disconnect the pipes and remove the water heater but be careful, they are heavier than they look even without any water inside.
The installation process
Once all the parts are together for the project, plumbers put the water heater in place and connect the pipes and add connector hoses if they are missing. One trick that people should know from a plumber, High Point residents should make sure faucets are open when turning back on the water supply. This trick helps keep air from getting trapped in the water lines. Plumbers then reconnect the wires and turn on the power source and wait for the water to heat back up. Water heaters are a lot of work, but they are certainly not by any means the hardest fix for plumbers.
