Tank Water Heater Installation in Baytown
Installing a water heater is gas, water, venting and sometimes electrical work in one small closet. Each connection has a code requirement behind it.
This page covers new installs, relocations and changes of size or fuel. A straight swap of an old tank is on the replacement page.
When You Need a New Install
New construction or an addition
Moving the heater out of the attic or to the garage
Changing from electric to gas, or gas to electric
Going up a size for a bigger household

What a Proper Installation Includes
The Right Size and Fuel
Tank size follows the size of the household. Fuel follows what the home has: natural gas, propane or electric.
Gas, Water and Power Connections
New shutoff valves and connectors on the water and gas lines, or a correct electrical connection.
Venting
A gas water heater has to vent its exhaust outside. We install the vent to code.
Safety Items
A drain pan where one is required, and a relief valve line run to a safe place.
Attic, Garage or Closet?
When a water heater sits in the attic, a leak damages the ceiling below. That is why the pan and its drain line matter.
If you would rather have it in the garage, ask. Moving it means new water, gas and vent runs, and we can price that for you.
