Why You Shouldn’t Install Your Own Water Heater

Thanks to technology, everything you could ever want to know is available at a moment’s notice at your fingertips. It’s very trendy now to do complete home makeovers yourself with the help of YouTube and, for the most part, homeowners are seeing great success in their efforts. At Indy Renovation, we applaud homeowners who are learning new skills and finding ways to personalize and update their homes themselves. However, we draw the line at water heater installation. This is no average DIY project and should always be handled by a professional.

We Have Multiple Skills

In order to successfully install a water heater, one must be well-versed in plumbing, electrical, heating and ventilation, as well as carpentry. So while you may be able to handle one of two of these areas, you likely won’t be able to handle all of them. Additionally, an expert plumber knows the state and local building codes, and how to obtain a permit for the work. Failure to comply with these types of codes can put you at serious physical, financial, and legal risk. So even if you saved money by doing it yourself, the risk is not worth it!

We Can Troubleshoot

Let’s say you’re able to install the water heater, but then it doesn’t work correctly. Maybe it’s a simple issue that can be fixed easily, but maybe it’s not. Do you know how to accurately diagnose and fix the problem? Probably not. If you don’t understand what went wrong, you will likely end up spending even more money trying to fix it than an expert would.

We Have Access to the Best Water Heaters

Finally, even the handiest of homeowners doesn’t have access to the best water heaters like a professional does. Sure, you can buy one off the shelf. But we can use our expertise to recommend the best one for your home and situation, and we can supply you with the best models on the market. Many water heaters aren’t available to the public to purchase because they are direct-to-trade. So, by hiring a professional, you will know the job is done right and you will get a high-quality, long-lasting product.

Professional water heater installation is always the best choice and with over 50 years in the business, you can trust the expert team at Indy Renovation. We have the know-how to get the job done well. Contact us today at (317) 375-4464 to receive a free estimate on water heater installation in Indianapolis.
