Water Heaters in Kings Point: what to know
A Kings Point water heater is often a small electric tank in a closet beside the kitchen or laundry. Because it sits inside the living space, a failed tank leaks onto your floor and possibly into the unit below, so many associations require a drain pan and some recommend replacing tanks at a set age.
Replacement units have to fit the same closet, and newer efficiency rules have made some tanks a little wider than the originals. A plumber will measure before ordering so the new heater actually fits through the door and into the space.

Before the plumber arrives
- Check your association's rules on water heater age, drain pans and approved contractors.
- Measure the closet opening and note the current tank size.
- If the tank leaks, close the cold water valve on top and switch off its breaker.
