Task guide
When this may be needed

What the team does
The technician switches off the heater at its double pole switch and isolates the water. The old heater is disconnected and taken down. The new heater is mounted level, its inlet and outlet are connected to the existing pipes, and the electrical connection is made to the existing supply point. The heater is filled before power is switched on, so the element isn't damaged, and then tested at the shower for temperature and flow.
Included in this price
- Isolating power and water
- Removing the old heater
