Can a Handyman Install a Water Heater in Texas?

This is a critical question regarding safety and legality. In Texas, only a licensed plumber or the homeowner themselves (if they are capable and understand the codes) is legally permitted to install or replace a water heater that involves plumbing, gas, or electrical connections. Using an unlicensed handyman might seem cheaper upfront but poses significant risks:

• Safety Hazards: Improper connections can lead to gas leaks, electrical shorts, carbon monoxide leaks, and water damage.
• Code Violations: Work may not pass required inspections, leading to costly corrections.
• Voided Warranties: Manufacturer warranties are often voided by unlicensed installation.
• Insurance Issues: Your homeowner's insurance may not cover damages resulting from non-code-compliant work performed by an unlicensed individual.

• Modifications: If existing plumbing, gas lines, venting, or electrical wiring needs updating to meet current codes or accommodate the new unit, this will add to the cost.
• Permit Fees: The cost of the required local permit.
