How to Remove a Water Heater

In this video home renovation brothers Dave and Rich show how to remove a water heater. To remove a hot water heater, we first had to disconnect the various supplies to the water heater. We turned off the burner. Then we turned off the gas supply and the cold water supply to the water heater. Then it was necessary to lighten the weight of the gas hot water heater by draining the water. To do this we connected a garden hose to the drain spigot of the water heater. Without removing the water, the gas hot water heater would simply be too heavy to safely move. Once the water is drained from the water heater, it is dramatically easier to move.

Removing a hot water heater can be intimidating. That is why it is important that before attempting to take this DIY removal of a water heater on, you should be fully familiar and comfortable with each aspect of the project.
Knowing how to remove a water heater is a valuable skill. Once your water heater starts leaking you are faced with removing the water heater yourself or calling a plumber. Sometimes waiting for a plumber to arrive to address your leaking water heater might just mean you are left with 40 or more gallons of water on the floor.

The main tools needed to remove a water heater are a couple of plumbers wrenches or similar plus a garden hose.

In our next video we will show you how to install a new hot water heater.
