Most people take for granted their hot water until it goes out and they need to replace the water heater. We use hot water for a lot of our daily needs and when it goes out it is a big inconvenience. There are quite a few types of water heaters. Most in Orlando Florida are either electric or natural gas water heaters. There is a big difference between an electric and gas water heater and if you have a gas water heater it is important to hire a competent Orlando plumbing company.
While an electric water heater can sometimes be tackled by a handy homeowner an Orlando gas water heater installation should be done by a reputable Orlando plumber. Their are quite a few codes you need to know to install a gas water heater for example the gas supply requires a drip leg and you must run the first 12-18″ from the heater with copper pipe. Installing the first 18″ of pipe with plastic can cause a big plumbing emergency the heat from the flue or gas vent gets hot and can melt the water lines causing a flood. While some codes have changed making it easier for an Orlando gas water heater installation, a gas install is better left up to a plumber in Orlando Florida.
Gas water heaters are also more expensive to install. The unit is more than an electric but they tend to last longer. Also, the labor is more intense and tends to take longer than an electric water heater.
