Installing a Heater in a Condo Closet
A closet installation has a few requirements: room for the heater and service access, proper venting or an electric model, a drain pan with a drain line where possible and a way to get the old tank out and the new one in. In a walk-up building, that might mean three flights of stairs. We plan the size, the route and the timing before install day, so the swap goes smoothly.
What Affects the Price of a New Water Heater
Size, fuel and venting come first. Closet installs may need a drain pan and a compact model. Stairs and building rules can affect labor. We check everything and quote one flat price.
