What Is Tank Water Heater Installation?
Tank water heater installation is the replacement of an existing storage water heater or the new installation of a tank unit (typically 40–75 gallon). In Orange County we install natural gas and electric models from major brands. California code requires seismic strapping, and many OC jurisdictions require an expansion tank and specific venting. We handle all of it and pull the permit so the installation is legal and insurable.
