Does this need to be installed by an electrician?

No, it plugs in. The plumbing may need to be professionally installed, depending on your expertise.

Nope. It just plugs in to 110V just make sure there is ample capacity on the circuit for the amp draw of the heater (you would need some basic electrical skills to hook up to 240V) You will need some basic, mechanical/plumbing skills to hook up the water supply. (Similar to hooking up a refrigerator water supply, I highly recommend an inline water filter for the supply line)

the 120v model comes with a cord for 120. if you need it to be 220 you will need to replace the cord with a 220 plug set
753773
No. Just plugs into a regular outlet. However, you need someone to install a water line.

I believe we had to have a plumber do some minor work in order to hook it up. Our electric was already in place.

I am not an electrician -- however, we did replace a GFCI receptacle with this TR7746W. After we had done it, we did have an electrician come to our home for another matter and had him look at our installation and he told us it was fine.

No. It's just the opposite. At least that's the way it works for me. I had an electrician install it for me, too.

Hiring an electrician wouldn't be a bad move. The installation was tedious, and the plans were very unclear. Having an extra set of eyes, especially one with experience, would make the painstaking process flow that much more smoothly.

If I am understanding your question correctly, I would say "no", it installs over a regular electrical box, similar to installing an overhead light fixture. Hope this helps answer your question.

I installed this myself. I work in hardware so it is whatever you're comfortable with. I did need assistance from an electrician because the electrical service wasn't correct. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself you would need both.

Sorry, I don't know. I hired an electrician/contractor to install it. He did not do any electrical work, as far as I can recall.

No, It comes in lots of pieces and you have to feed the wires through it. I had an Electrician install it.

Hi - I purchased the unit and am very happy with it. I believe you would have to contact an electrician if something goes bad. Note: The unit is powerful and I needed to install a 20 amp circuit breaker & 12 gauge wire (15amp was got good enough) so it was a major project to get it installed but it is well worth it

I have seen many people post comments stating that it was easy to install. I'm not an electrician, and recommend you have someone who understands the installation to help. The instructions are not step by step, which makes this an above general knowledge installation.

It's easy to install - you don't need an electrician. I am a 68 year old woman; I'm pretty handy but by no means an expert handyman. You just shut off the electricity to the heater, set the new heater in the box and fasten the wires with wire nuts.

This is a wall fixture and has a switch i had an electrician install it but could easily be installed to replace and existing wall fixture.

you'll have to ask a professional - i hired my install - check with the manufacturer

You will need it hard wired by an electrician. It works very well when installed and doesn't take up much wall space.

Nope, this is all ya need. I had an electrician mount it and put a new outlet, so I can plug directly to it

Yes. Need to install new included socket and just plug in. Easy installation

Not sure but the electrician that installed it didn't have any issues with them or use any special connectors. Hope that helps.
