Pride Plumbing came out and replaced a leaking 40-gallon electric A.O. Smith water heater with a new 40-gallon electric Rheem PROE40-M2-RH95 model. First, after disconnecting its electrical connections and inlet and outlet water lines, we removed and disposed of the old water heater. Then we installed a rubber water heater pad, the new water heater, ball water shut-off valves, PEX and stainless steel water supply lines to the water heater connectors, a brass drain valve, and wired up the electrical connections to the new water heater. Finally, we ensured that the unit’s temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve was properly vented and set the unit to its appropriate operating temperature.
