The before photo tells the story pretty clearly. No water heater at all, just a tangle of copper lines, black ABS pipe, and a pair of yellow-tagged connections waiting in a tight basement corner. The old unit was already gone by the time we arrived, but the space still needed to be sorted out properly before anything new went in.
For this Crestview home, we installed a 50-gallon Bradford White power vent water heater. Power vent units are a solid choice in basements where traditional venting isn't practical. The blower on top pushes exhaust gases out horizontally through PVC, which gives a lot more flexibility with where the unit can sit.
We also added a proper shut-off valve for the tank. It's a small thing, but it matters. If there's ever a leak or a future repair needed, that valve means the water gets stopped fast, right at the source, without hunting around for another way to isolate the system.
The after photo shows the Bradford White sitting clean and upright, copper supply lines sweeping down neatly into the top of the unit, and the power vent motor seated at the top ready to do its job. Tidy install in a snug space.
If your water heater is aging out or you're just not getting reliable hot water, we're happy to take a look. Give us a call at 613-227-7465.
