Would you call a plumber, or an electrician, to get this installed?

You will need both. First, the Electrician is needed to wire the tankless heater, and then, the plumber to hook up to the plumbing and remove the current water heater tank.

Hi Jennifer,The answer to your question is that if you have relatively basic plumbimg and electrical skills you can do this. If you have any questions or doubt, get someone who knows what they are doing to install. You dont want to save a few bucks and have your house burn down. That being said, I am a licensed power plant engineer and have been working with both plumbing and electrical for over 10 years, I installed my heater myself. What it boils down to is whether you are both comfortable and competent enough to do this.Good luck!

You will probably need both - We had a plumber install it, but he didn't do a very good job of housing the wiring. We had to run a new electrical wire with the correct amperage from the fuse box, and later had an electrician do a better job with the connection to the Rheem. That said, we still have a gaping hole in the wall, so you may need a drywaller too!

I installed this myself. I work in hardware so it is whatever you're comfortable with. I did need assistance from an electrician because the electrical service wasn't correct. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself you would need both.

Hi I installed it myself extremely easy to do very small, works great . if not self installing you would need both needs a heavy guage electrical connection and rework copper piping from old water heater

NEITHER. You need a HVAC Contractor to install it. You can do some of the simple parts of the job to help reduce the total labor cost.

You do need a plumber unless you are comfortable with cutting copper pipe and sweating copper joints to install the waterpipe portion of the unit. The electronic plug-ins are easy to do.

I think it could be done with basic plumbing knowledge. I'm sure you would need some additional fittings.

No plumber required to install unit. Instructions are simple for installation. You do need an electrical outlet in reach of the electrical cord. Mo remote needed as the controls are on the side of the unit and you have to be sitting on it for any of the controls to operate. We love it. It was a good replacement for the one that gave out after about 10 years.

Yes, if you can find an electrician that will do it for you, unless you can yourself.

The install is not hard and will not be too difficult for a DIYer who has replaced faucets and similar. You are only connecting three lines, hanging the unit, installing the faucet in a hole and plugging in a power plug. OTOH, You are installing these three lines and hanging the box upside down in a small, dark, uncomfortable box with small doors probably already packed with assorted plumbing, garbage disposals, hoses ect... There are better ways to spend an hour.

Yes. I would still get an electrician. This unit is great I would highly recommen.

I paid someone to do the installation. But for someone who knows about installation, it wouldn't be so difficult

It will need to be installed by an electrician unless you are familiar with electrical wiring

Yes you can do the install by yourself, but probably better to have someone help.

Since you are in a foreign country, I do not have enough knowledge about your plumbing and electrical set up to make any suggestions. I would suggest that you find somebody local who is familiar with the setup.

I believe it would be very difficult. The person who installed mine had to return twice before it was installed properly.

This question needs to go to the person you are purchasing the door knob fixture from?

Not sure what you mean. There are instructions in the box, but if you are not handy, you should hire a plumber.

No, it plugs in. The plumbing may need to be professionally installed, depending on your expertise.
