Two strong guys came out to install a new water heater at my house, which was not an easy task. My water heater closet is upstairs in my loft. To make it even more difficult, there is only a spiral staircase leading to the loft. Instead of using the spiral staircase, they managed to lift the new water heater (100 lbs) over my upstairs half wall by tying a strap to it and hoisting it straight up hand over hand. They got the old heater down by reversing the process, all without damaging anything in my house. It was pretty incredible! Everything else about the install went smoothly. It was not cheap, but worth it considering how challenging and even dangerous the install was. In the end I was very satisfied!
