It’s important to keep your water heater in good working condition. Either that or you face time without the appliance that doesn’t get all that praise it deserves.

Check the Plumbing

Measure the center-to-center dimension between the hot and cold water pipes on the top of the water heater and try to ensure the new heater has the same dimensions. That will make the plumbing job a bit easier. Take a look at the plumbing connecting to the old water heater. Then install the cold water shut off valve or hot water pipe union. Sutton Plumbing and Heating Contractors do the right job in the beginning so hopefully everything is in place.
