PRDATR Report post Posted August 2, 2021 I would get a couple of estimates starting with these guys. They should also be able to apply for the permit too. https://www.chandlerwaterheater.com/chandler-az.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chandler wants a permit for everything, take out the trash, clean out the recycleables for them ans sort it out for them, basically make the Citys job easier in all ways. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to pull a permit in Mesa to change out an existing water heater too. You would not believe the amount of illiterate backyard dumb mother f'ers out there that just slap stuff together without a clue on bonding, pitch for condensate or how to put a flue together, p-traps etc. Sure a permit costs a few dollars but, codes change and if stuff is just replaced it may not have been installed correctly in the first place. Anyone can be a parts changer but if someone gets shocked and dies or your place burns down or if you get sick from CO poisoning it's too late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I worked on a project at Ft Bliss a ways back that had a pretty complex heating system with multiple boilers. It was installed in a 25x25' mechanical room by a union contractor. There wasn't a plumb or level pipe in the whole room and there must have been close to 300' feet of copper in that room. It gave me eye strain just to look at it before they insulated it all.

I would go with gas, electric takes 120amps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wellhead Report post Posted August 3, 2021 It’s all about revenue but they claim to care about your safety. Where did they learn it? From the great state west of us! They can’t raise taxes so just raise fees. It’s so much easier that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
