Is a Permit Required for Water Heater Installation?
In Oregon, it's required to obtain a permit before installing a water heater. Failing to secure this permit can lead to significant fines and penalties. Not only is it a safety measure to ensure proper installation, but it also ensures that your investment will be covered by the manufacturer's warranty, and your homeowners insurance won't deny your claim due to a faulty installation.
