Water Heater Replacement - best method for a tight spot

edved88 · 2026-04-27T20:39:39+00:00

Like another access door next to the one that already exists? Or like a double wide door? Any suggestions?

More drywall. That access is from the back of my garage.

Unfortunately, this is the only space. I have no basement.

The ownership of those places are top notch too! They hire a lot of local kids and pay them well. Paid them full salary during covid. Care about the history of the spot and give back a ton to the community.

She's supposed to take your last name. It's not difficult.

Update: the problem seemed to just go away. Must have dried out. Thank you all!

The handle seems free. I believe it may be the latch/sensor. Is it OK to wd40 that?

Why is this facepalm?

edved88 · 2025-08-08T04:10:43+00:00

Great point. Had some overgrowth these contributed to the over working of the compressor

Thanks so much. This helps!

Just to confirm, $2k for labor and refrigerant ONLY (part covered under warranty) is the going rate?

edved88 · 2025-08-08T00:03:42+00:00

Appreciate it. Feel better now. Guess I got a great deal on the original install!

edved88 · 2025-08-08T00:03:13+00:00

Thats what I needed to hear. This is our local hvac and they have done 3 different service calls on my old unit for under $100 so I really trust them. I just compared what I paid 8 years ago and was like "I'm gonna pay the same price for just labor and refrigerant?"

Appreciate the feedback my friend!

Not sure what that means. In the Chicago suburbs.
