The existing 40-gallon water heater was found to be failing and no longer operating reliably. It was replaced with a new 50-gallon Rheem water heater to restore dependable hot water, improve efficiency, and ensure safe, consistent performance. We installed a 4 year warranty extension kit, to extend the factory warranty to 10 years total. As part of the installation, a new electrical box was installed on the wall and properly sealed with a watertight connection to protect the electrical components and meet safety standards. A mixing valve was installed on top of the water heater and set to 4.5 which is equivalent to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, this is Vermont’s anti scolding temperature. All work was inspected for leaks, and functionality. At this time there are no leaks, and the water heater is operating as it should.
