A dependable supply of hot water is essential for any modern home, and a properly installed water heater is the cornerstone of that comfort. Whether you're replacing an old, inefficient unit or upgrading to a more advanced system, understanding the installation process is key to making informed decisions.
At FP Plumbing, we specialize in professional water heater installations, ensuring your home benefits from efficient, safe, and long-lasting hot water.
Why Professional Installation Matters
While some DIY projects are tempting, water heater installation is a complex task that involves significant safety considerations and technical expertise. Professional installation ensures:
Safety: Dealing with gas lines, high voltage electricity, and pressurized water requires specific knowledge to prevent leaks, explosions, electrocution, or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Code Compliance: Local building codes and regulations dictate specific requirements for water heater installation, including venting, clearances, and safety devices. Our certified technicians are up-to-date on all local Aurora, CO codes.
Efficiency: Proper sizing and installation are crucial for optimal energy efficiency and lower utility bills. An incorrectly installed unit can waste energy and cost you more in the long run.
Longevity: A professionally installed water heater is less prone to premature failure and will likely last its expected lifespan, saving you money on repairs and early replacements.
Warranty Validation: Many manufacturers require professional installation for their product warranties to remain valid.
Types of Water Heaters We Install
We offer installation services for a wide range of water heater types to meet diverse needs and preferences:
Conventional Storage Tank Water Heaters: The most common type, these units store and heat a reserve of water. Available in natural gas, propane, and electric models. They are generally more affordable upfront and are a reliable choice for many households.
Tankless (On-Demand) Water Heaters: These innovative units heat water instantly as needed, providing an endless supply of hot water without a storage tank. They are highly energy-efficient and take up less space. Available in gas and electric models, though electric tankless often require significant electrical upgrades.
Heat Pump (Hybrid) Water Heaters: These highly efficient electric water heaters extract heat from the surrounding air to warm the water. They offer significant energy savings compared to conventional electric models and are an excellent environmentally friendly option.
Solar Water Heaters: Harnessing the power of the sun, solar water heaters provide an incredibly energy-efficient way to heat your water, significantly reducing your reliance on traditional energy sources. (Note: These often require a backup system).
