Old Water Heater Midtown

Need for a Replacement

Our master plumber Anthony Thompson went to Tom’s home, and after inspecting the unit, he discovered the old water heater was not only inefficient but also not up to current building codes. The 1980s water heater was housed in a compact closet, which posed a significant challenge for fitting a new unit. Recognizing this, Anthony recommended the AO-Smith GCB-40 gallon water heater for a replacement. At just 18 inches wide, this unit would be an ideal fit. But Anthony’s work wasn’t limited to a mere swap-out; the job required a creative solution to modernize the entire setup.

How did Fix & Flow ensure attention to every detail during the water heater installation?

Anthony and his team approached this project with meticulous attention to detail and optimal performance in mind. Our team provided all necessary parts and labor to seamlessly remove and dispose of the old water heater before installing the new one. To ensure the highest standards of safety and efficiency, our team renovated the gas supply line to the new unit and installed a new gas isolation valve. Anthony also fitted a new ball isolation valve and a thermal expansion tank to enhance the system’s safety, longevity and performance. To top it off, Anthony took special care in repiping the vent line, making sure it would align with the new unit.

Warranties and Assurance

The new AO-Smith 40 gallon water heater came with a comprehensive warranty, a two-year parts warranty and an impressive six-year tank warranty, providing Tom with peace of mind and assurance of long-term reliability.
