While there are some household jobs that are great DIY projects, installing the heater is not one of them. There are several reasons why you should leave the job up to a professional.

When purchasing a new unit, certain things need to be taken into consideration such as the fuel source, recovery rate, energy efficiency, and the anticipated demand.
Local Codes and Ordinances Should Be Considered
There are certain regulations when it comes to installation that vary by city. A professional would know the rules and regulations of installing a unit that most homeowners might not know.
