    Replacing the Outdoor Tankless Unit

    Because this was an outdoor installation, the replacement had to be positioned securely on the exterior wall and connected correctly to the home’s existing water, gas, and electrical systems. Our technician completed the changeout carefully and inspected the installation before startup.

    The Conversion

    Our technician carefully opened the existing tub surround, removed the old three-handle valve assembly, and installed the new single-handle tub and shower valve. A chrome renovation plate covered the original valve openings neatly, allowing us to complete the conversion without replacing the entire tub surround.
