Before the hot water tank installation replacement takes place, there are a few essential steps to prepare for the process. Firstly, turn off the gas or electricity supply to the existing hot water tank. This precautionary measure ensures the safety of the installation team and prevents any accidents during the removal process.

Next, drain the old tank of its water to make it easier to remove and reduce any potential water spillage. If you’re unsure of how to do this, it’s best to leave it to the professionals to avoid any water damage. Lastly, clear the area around the hot water tank to provide easy access for the installation team. Removing any clutter or obstacles will expedite the replacement process.
