Plumber Or Heating Contrator? Gas Tankless Water Heater Installation?
Posted on | November 22, 2009 | 5 Comments
I’m seriously considering purchasing one of these soon and I see that both licensed plumbers and heating and cooling pros offer installation.
I wanted to know whom should I lean towards (even if it may cost more) and what type of questions should I ask in order to ensure I get a real pro?

Call a reputable plumbing and heating contractor for an on site estimate. Do not accept a price quote over the phone. Ask estimator to bring out brochures of various brands. Prices vary primarily due to warranties and installation materials. Heating and Air contractors install forced air units and employ sheet metal workers to do duct work. Plumbing and Heating contractors install plumbing and also install boilers for heating which involve piping. Check with Better Business Bureau prior to calling for estimates. Ask for references from potential contractor prior to signing work contract. Do not buy extended warranties on heater. Manufacturers warranty do not cover labor costs. The contractors installation warranty should be one year from date of installation.

Hello, I’m not sure where you are located, my company is a Heating Oil & Propane Co. and all my technicians have both gas, and specialty plumbing licenses. That allow them to do the complete installation, saving on having to hire 2 different company’s. So I would check with your gas company 1st.

My plumber installs them, working on both water and gas lines. You will need an electrical outlet, so keep that in mind when getting quotes.
