Professional water heater technicians go into jobs with professional training and extensive experience working with water heaters, especially compared to a DIY installer.

The technician can use their expertise to advise you on the best course of action regarding your water heater. For example, they can guide you on whether you should repair or replace an old water heater. If you decide to replace the water heater with a new one, the technician can help you pick a water heater that suits your needs and manage expectations regarding the installation.

The ideal residential water pressure is typically between 40 and 80 PSI, with most homeowners finding 50 to 70 PSI provides the best balance of strong water flow and long-term plumbing protection. Many plumbing professionals recommend setting your home's pressure at approximately 60 PSI, which delivers excellent performance without placing unnecessary stress on pipes, fixtures, and appliances.

Water pressure is the force that pushes water through your home's plumbing system. If the pressure is too low, you may notice weak showers, slow-filling sinks, and underperforming appliances. If it's too high, it can shorten the life of faucets, toilets, water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, and even your plumbing pipes.

A Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) is designed to regulate incoming municipal water pressure and maintain a safe, consistent level throughout your home. If your home's incoming pressure exceeds 80 PSI, installing or replacing a properly functioning PRV is highly recommended. Excessive pressure can lead to leaks, burst pipes, running toilets, water hammer, and costly plumbing repairs.

If you're unsure what your home's water pressure is, one of our licensed plumbers can perform a quick pressure test and inspect your PRV to ensure your plumbing system is operating safely and efficiently.
