Water Heater Tips and Guidelines

We service and install a lot of water heaters in Las Vegas.  As a service to you, here are some requirements regarding hot water heater installation in Vegas and Henderson, NV.

• All hot water heater installations are required to get a permit from the city before installing your new heater.
• Plano water heaters must be installed in an area where there is a 30” x 30” space available to observe, service and maintain the unit.
• Gas water heaters installed in a garage must be on a minimum of an 18” platform, which prevents possible hazards in case of a flammable liquid spill.
• Water heaters installed above the first floor require a corrosion resistant drain pan.

Here are a few good tips regarding hiring a contractor provided by the city.

• Never use a contractor who says no permits are required
• Always use a licensed contractor and insist on seeing evidence of the current license.
• Ask for references or examples of similar jobs previously performed by the contractor.
• Ask to see the permit before the work begins.

We look forward to the opportunity to work with you on the installation of a new water heater in your Las Vegas home or business.
