It’s never a good time for a water heater to go out, but there are times that are worse than others. Say, in the middle of winter. While you are expecting company for Christmas. And you have your whole house to clean. This would be a much worse time for your water heater to go out than, say, in the middle of summer when you aren’t freezing, or expecting company! In either situation though, you want to know that it can be replaced as quickly as possible. But how quickly is that? To find out, let’s take a look at what goes into Water Heaters Installation in Pembroke Pines FL.
First and foremost, how long it takes will depend on how quickly a plumber can get you scheduled. Smaller plumbing businesses sometimes can’t get you in for days (and sometimes weeks), for the simple fact that they only have one or two plumbers on call. Larger plumbing businesses, however, have more plumbers on staff and can get to you more quickly. House Electric, for example, services such a large area that they can offer immediate dispatch, as well as weekend and evening availability.
Assuming you can get immediate service, it should take somewhere between 2-3 hours for Water Heaters Installation in Pembroke Pines FL. Removing the old tank generally takes anywhere from 45-60 minutes, depending on what type it is, where it is located in your home, and how easy it is to access. Positioning the new water heater can take around 30 minutes, assuming you are going with the same type that you already had. (It can take longer switching from one type to another, for example, tankless to tank). Connecting the system usually takes another 45-60 minutes, again depending on type, location, etc.
Remember though, these are approximate times, assuming nothing goes wrong. Even in tough cases though, it generally won’t take more than a day (two at most) to replace a water heater. To get an idea of how long it will take to replace your water heater, you’ll want to talk to the plumber doing the removal and installation. But by choosing a company that can get you in quickly, like our example from above (House Electric), you’ll have your hot water back on a lot faster.
