Chapel Hill South, Orleans.
The before photo shows an old water heater that had clearly run its course. The tank was worn, and it was time for a full replacement.
We swapped it out for a Bradford White 50-gallon power vent natural gas water heater. The after photo shows the new unit standing clean and upright in the basement. The black power vent assembly sits on top, and the PVC exhaust lines run neatly out through the wall. Everything is connected and properly set.
Power vent models are a practical choice for homes in Chapel Hill South where there is no traditional chimney flue in the mechanical room. The built-in blower pushes exhaust gases out horizontally through PVC pipe, so we are not limited by where a vertical flue might run. It gives us more flexibility and keeps the installation clean.
A 50-gallon tank handles a busy household well. Hot water for showers, laundry, and dishes without the unit struggling to keep up. Bradford White builds these tanks to last.
We handled everything: disconnecting the old tank, positioning the new one, connecting the gas line, water lines, and vent, and confirming it fired up properly before leaving.
If your water heater is aging or acting up, give us a call at 613-458-5006.
