Can I install a water heater by myself safely and correctly?

You can try, but most homeowners are better off having a pro install a water heater to ensure correct sizing, venting, and gas/electrical connections. Aquarius Home Services installs and services gas, electric, and tankless units, and we provide firm, job-based pricing. Our technicians also handle safety checks and can recommend upgrades or a second unit if needed. We offer emergency service if something goes wrong. Service is available in areas like Woodbury and Saint Paul.

Quick checks before you consider DIY:

• Confirm fuel shutoff and power isolation.
• Verify a working temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve and drain line.
• Check for leaks after fill and ignition/power-up.
