a hot water heater is neither heating,ventilating or air conditioning..its strictly plumbing..

Yes, Scott

Thats the funny part you can't wire new contrustion, but can wire all replacements from the firematic down.Not to degrade electicians, but most have no idea how to wire advanced heating systems, alot of the time i have to do the wiring while they are there or talk them thru it.
