Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area, Texas
24/7 Emergency Water Heater Service
Permitting and Inspections (as required): In many areas, replacing a water heater requires a permit and subsequent inspection by local authorities to ensure code compliance. We manage this process for you, ensuring all necessary paperwork is filed and that the installation meets the required standards, saving you time and potential headaches.
Expert Consultation & Sizing: The first and most critical step in water heater replacement is ensuring you get the right unit for your needs. Our service begins with an expert consultation to assess your household’s hot water demands, usage patterns, and budget. We then accurately size the new water heater – whether it’s a traditional tank model or a tankless unit – to ensure it provides sufficient hot water efficiently, avoiding both undersizing (not enough hot water) and oversizing (unnecessary energy consumption).
Professional Installation & Code Compliance: This is the core of the replacement service. Our licensed plumbers perform a precise installation of your new water heater, adhering to all manufacturer specifications and, crucially, all local plumbing and safety codes. This includes proper connection of water lines, gas lines (for gas models), electrical wiring (for electric and tankless models), and venting systems. Correct installation is paramount for the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your new unit.
System Testing & Optimization: Once the new water heater is installed, we conduct thorough testing to ensure everything is operating perfectly. This includes checking for leaks, verifying proper heating (temperature and flow rate), testing safety features like the T&P valve, and confirming all connections are secure. For tankless units, we’ll verify flow activation and proper combustion. We’ll also optimize settings to ensure your new water heater runs at peak efficiency.
Safe Removal & Disposal of Old Unit: Replacing a water heater involves safely disconnecting and removing the old unit, which can be heavy and contain residual water. Our technicians are trained to handle this process meticulously, minimizing any mess or damage to your property. We also ensure the environmentally responsible disposal or recycling of your old water heater, adhering to all local regulations.
Effective water heater maintenance is crucial for extending the lifespan of your unit, ensuring optimal performance, and preventing unexpected breakdowns. We recommend periodic maintenance, even on new units, to ensure that it functions flawlessly in the years to come. When failures do happen, DFW Rapid Repair is ready to handle the problem.
