Two minutes before you send it

  • Gas tank: is the pilot lit? The small window near the bottom of the tank shows it.
  • Electric tank: is the breaker for the water heater on?
  • Water at the base? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.
  • Gas smell? Leave the house and call 911 or the gas utility first.

What it usually costs, nationally

National ranges, so you know roughly what to expect. Your pro gives you the real price for your home before any work is booked.
