Sure, you’ve seen the videos on the internet and watched the Do-it-Yourself shows on television. But before you make a decision to purchase and install a water heater yourself, read on. They don’t tell you everything on the web or TV.
WHY HIRE A PRO? Yes, it’s tempting to run down to the big box store, throw a water heater in a cart, and head home with your purchase. But a water heater isn’t a gallon of paint. You can’t just cover up your mistakes. There are serious risks to you, your family, your home or business by “Doing-it-Yourself” incorrectly.
ARE YOU GETTING THE MOST FOR YOUR DOLLAR? IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG, WHO WILL YOU TURN TO? Not all water heaters are created equal. Some of the very best brands and most innovative models are not available in retail outlets. These water heaters are sold by wholesale suppliers to professional installers. As we’ve always said, “Do it yourself and you’ll only have yourself to blame.” Professional installers provide a service and part of that service is to stand behind their work.
