- Check the measurements for the space in which the water heater is to be installed
- Check the ampacity of the circuit breaker
- Check the wire size of the circuit
If you have a 20 amp breaker and #12 AWG wire size and you don't want to change the circuit you will need to remove the 4500 watt elements and install 3500 watt elements- a simple fix.
The main thing is you want to be safe! Don't make a mistake that could cost you more $ down the road. When in doubt call a professional.
