If you are a handy man or woman, then you can do it yourself. It needs a dedicated line with #8 AWG, 2 conductor w/g, and a 2 pole 40A breaker. It's been awhile since I installed mine but a check valve is important. I don't think it's that complicated if you follow the instructions, you should be just fine.

If you are skilled at plumbing you can plumb. I used both. larger wire & 50 amp breaker required.

Not sure because I returned this model. If you need something for a normal size house, you need a model with at least 4.5gpm to 6gpm because a regular shower flows at 2.5gpm. I ended up getting the aviditi model instead. Served my house perfectly for over a year and half. To finally answer your question, YES you need someone with local certification to install. You can ignore the plumbing part because that's very easy but for insurance and .legal reasons, get a certified electrician. Mine had to run two thick 50amp cables from the two 50 amp breakers to the unit.

It's the electricity that needs to be upgraded. You need an electrician more. Plumber is handy but exactly needed.

This unit is 220 V; not 110 V. As far as the plumbing concern I did this myself along with the wiring. Hope this helps you good luck

Yes. You will need wire, ductwork, drain line, and additional related items (including tools) in order to install this. All depend on your specific situation.

All the components are there. Just plug and play. As long as your plumbing matches up. Your good to go.

These answers posted are weak at best. "I had an electrician do it" Give me a schematic or a wiring diagram.Weak specs is a problem.

You may need additional wiring and splices/connectors. I recommend you become familiar with the installation that is unique to your vehicle before purchase.

We called several types of professionals (electricians, appliance repair, handyman, etc) and couldn't get anyone to install it. We were replacing one a handyman put in about 10+ prior so we just did it ourselves. It was not too hard as we had the prior one to model the install/wiring after. I don't think we could have done it if it was a new install.

If the light you are trying to replace works at both 6V and 12V power then yes you would need the special wiring kit, otherwise LEDs will not work at 6V. LEDs need 12V to light up properly.

Yep if you have a normal 4 prong plug to hook it up to . Or you can hard wire ..it took me about 20 min to install ..looks and works great

This item's electrical work needs to be installed by a professional electrition. This is not an item that can be hooked up on one's own. I had two estimates done by two different electrician companies, and the estimates were both around $1, 600.

Sorry, can't help you. I had the dealer install mine. They were running a special last year, $199.00 installed. So I'm assuming it's pretty easy to install.

I'm sorry, David. It's been a while, and I don't have my model info in front of me. I can tell you, that for me, it was like a 5min installation. Just label all the wires and where they are supposed to go! It saved me more than $200, buying the part and installing myself. Best of luck.

You will probably need both - We had a plumber install it, but he didn't do a very good job of housing the wiring. We had to run a new electrical wire with the correct amperage from the fuse box, and later had an electrician do a better job with the connection to the Rheem. That said, we still have a gaping hole in the wall, so you may need a drywaller too!

I just used the wires supplied from the unit itself. Simple 3 wire connection. There are no additional connections or additional wire needed. Simple instructions will show you where to connect them. Should you have any issues, please let me know. You will be very happy with this unit. I am. Ron, Mesa, AZ PS remember to shut off A/C unit breaker before attempting to install.

No plumber required to install unit. Instructions are simple for installation. You do need an electrical outlet in reach of the electrical cord. Mo remote needed as the controls are on the side of the unit and you have to be sitting on it for any of the controls to operate. We love it. It was a good replacement for the one that gave out after about 10 years.

It has to be installed by an electrician and we also needed a plumber to connect it to our gas line. You also need to purchase the transfer switch

Installed mine myself. I used Plumb PEX and some various electrical items spent $63.00 and my time (about 2.5 hrs). Sorry I can not be of any further help!

Bring it to Home Depot. Anyone in the electrical dept can show you the type of wire & outlet you'll need.
