If it is an in-kind replacement, a permit is not required. If however, an electrical appliance is being replaced with a natural gas appliance (or vice versa) then a permit is required.

Yes, a permit is required, because as hot water is heated it rapidly expands. Hot water heaters are designed to withstand this pressure, through the addition of safety devices. When a hot water is installed improperly, they have been known to explode. In some cases they were literally propelled through the roof of a single family residence. Prior to installing a new hot water heater, we require a permit to cover the inspection of the replacement.

Yes, in order to ensure proper installation and compliance with required codes, a permit is required.

Yes. State law requires that the Town perform an inspection of water heater replacements.

No. The boiler supplies all of your normal domestic hot water needs. It produces 130 gallons of hot water per hour on demand.

This is one of those things that seems difficult, but is actually very easy. First you need a source of water; either hook up to the city water connection or fill the on board water tanks and turn on the pump. Now comes the hard part, just open the hot water faucet. The water entering from the water source you selected will displace the air in the HWH and begin to fill. At first air will be expelled from the faucet, then it will spurt water and finally a full stream of water.

there are several manufacturers of hot water heaters (HWH), read and understand you owners manual. The first thing I want to say is when lighting the HWH it takes a LONG time holding down the pilot button to get gas flow all the way to the HWH. Turn the HWH gas valve knob to the "Pilot" position, then push this knob in. Gas will NOT flow unless you are holding this down. It is a safety thing. Wait at least 1 minute, usually 2 and gas will begin to flow. Now try to light it.

Customers sometimes report white particles that clog plumbing fixtures. They may be bits of calcium carbonate scale coming from your water heater. The scaling may be worsened because water heater thermostat is too high. If the particles are calcium carbonate, you probably need to flush your water heater.

I purchased a computer monitor and was charged an $8 recycling fee. According to your website, I need to take my old monitor to a recycling center. If I have to do it, then what was the fee for? Do you have a pick up service, or does that fee apply toward cleaning up the e-waste that ends up at the dump? I don't care about the fee, but you're making it awfully difficult to do the right thing here. Thanks, Chris Stiles I travel daily via Vista Del Mar and Culver.
