Good prep saves everyone time and avoids back-and-forth. Here's what we ask for most often before an install.
Clear the path
- Hallway, stairs, and front door clear (the tank is heavy and bulky)
- Space around the old heater: enough to work and carry it out
- Simple test: if you can roll a chair from the door to the heater with no obstacles, access is good
Check space and the panel
Newer models are often a bit wider (better insulation). Confirm the new unit fits the planned spot. The electrical panel must be reachable: the tech (or electrician) may need to check wire and breaker.
On the day
- Say where to drain the old tank (floor drain, sump, outdoors)
- Keep pets in another room
- Mention if parking is tight near your place
- Have questions ready about pan, detector, or expansion tank — we'll decide together
You don't need to know the code. Photos of the space and the label before the appointment already help a lot for an accurate quote.
