Can I install a water heater by myself safely and correctly?
You can, but professional installation is safer and more reliable. A licensed specialist is needed for tankless units, and appropriate ventilation is required. Installations also involve gas lines and the pressure relief valve, which must be tested for safety. Summers includes an in-depth consultation with every installation and offers 24/7 service across Bloomington–Normal and nearby towns.
