LocalServ.Pro — Water Heaters Hiring Checklist
Prepared October 17, 2026
Planning aid; verify current project requirements. No request is sent.

No hot water, insufficient capacity, and a leaking tank are different service calls. Note the unit’s model, fuel, approximate installation date, symptoms, and whether demand has changed. Ask the plumber to distinguish a repairable component fault from a condition that requires replacement.

DISCUSS WITH THE PROVIDER
What evidence supports repair versus replacement?
Will the proposed unit meet peak hot-water demand?
What maintenance must be performed to support normal operation and warranty terms?

COMPARE IN WRITING
[ ] Included tasks, materials and quantities
[ ] Exclusions, allowances and change approval
[ ] Relevant credentials, insurance and who performs the work
[ ] Permit responsibility, schedule, payment milestones and cleanup
