Same Day Water Heaters issued a quote on the water heater. It was a Rheem 50 gallon 6 year model from Home Depot. The quote for installing it required a plumber to be on-site. The cost will depend on the city’s code. Also, the current setup (connections, drain pan, height from the floor, etc.) on the house. Before buying the house, our inspector pointed out issues. He said the connections were not “up to code”.Brandon Andrews arrived on time, as well as calling us before arriving. He explained what new connections he was going to install. He pointed out some cost savings. Putting a pipe through the storage room walls would cost more. He checked Mansfield’s code online to make sure he was up to date and complete.His tools were professional quality. He laid them out in a functional pattern on the garage floor. He was an efficient worker.He did some tests, including the pressure relief outlet. Then he took photos of the water heater, along with the serial number.He scheduled an appointment with the city inspector. He told us when to expect him.At the end, Brandon showed the receipt on his tablet to sign.Yet, the inspector did not come. I reported this to Same Day Water Heaters. It turns out the there were more tasks than the city inspectors could handle. They will call back. So far, nothing from the city inspectors.*** Update ***11/11/2022Same Day Water Heaters called back. It seems Mansfield is the only city in their operating areas that still has Covid precautions using remote inspection. Arlington, where I moved from, has on-site inspections. A plumber will be available to give Mansfield the remote inspection on Wednesday.Same Day Water Heaters was very kind. They called to apologize for the inconvenience, explaining my new city's rules, and sent a Home Depot gift card.
