The Water Heater Replacement Process

Replacing a water heater involves selecting the right equipment, removing the existing unit, completing the necessary connections, and verifying operation before the new system goes into regular use. Northern Air handles each part of the replacement with the home’s hot water needs and existing setup in mind.

  1. Evaluate the Existing Water Heater: We inspect the current unit and installation setup, including its capacity, fuel source, connections, and available space.

  2. Determine Your Hot Water Needs: Household size and typical hot water usage help us determine the appropriate capacity and equipment options for the replacement.

  3. Select the New Water Heater: We discuss compatible options, including Bradford White water heaters, so you can choose equipment suited to the home and your hot water demand.

  4. Remove the Old Equipment: The existing water heater is disconnected and removed so the installation area can be prepared for the replacement.

  5. Install and Connect the New Unit: Our technicians position the new water heater and complete the applicable plumbing, fuel, venting, and electrical connections.

  6. Test Water Heater Operation: Once installation is complete, we check the system and applicable connections to confirm the new water heater is operating properly.

Our Water Heater Installation Services

Choosing a new water heater involves more than replacing the old tank with equipment that looks similar. Household hot water demand, available space, fuel source, and the existing setup can all affect which unit makes sense. Northern Air handles the installation process with these factors in mind.

New Water Heater Installation

Northern Air installs traditional tank water heaters for Fort Collins homeowners. Before installation, our technicians evaluate the existing setup and equipment requirements so the new water heater is appropriate for the home and its hot water needs.

Water Heater Replacement

An aging water heater may become less reliable, require repeated repairs, or struggle to provide enough hot water. When replacement makes more sense than another water heater repair, we can remove the existing equipment and install the new unit.

Water Heater Sizing

The right capacity depends on how much hot water the household needs, particularly during periods when showers, faucets, and appliances are being used close together. We consider household demand and the existing system when helping you select an appropriately sized water heater.

Bradford White Water Heater Installation

Northern Air installs Bradford White water heaters, including residential models equipped with features designed to support water heating performance. We can help determine which available model and capacity fit your home’s installation requirements.

Water Heater Connections and Setup

Installation includes making the applicable water, fuel, venting, and electrical connections required by the equipment and existing setup. Our technicians configure the new water heater and check its operation after installation.

Water Heater Replacement Testing

Before completing the job, we test the installed equipment and applicable connections. We also make sure you understand the basic operation and settings of the new water heater before putting it into regular use.
