Getting a new furnace with air finally........

but the basement has water troubles, the base of the old furnace is
badly rusted.

to facilitate the interior french drain install i am going to have to
remove or relocate my hot water tank temporarily for the drain work.

once finances recover a little i want to replace that heater which
currently vents up the chimney, to a sealed combustoion 95% condensing
heater. shopping for that today. DONT want a tankless!

anyone move a tank successfully? ours s over 7 years old, a 50 gallon
75,000 btu model.

if $ were no object i would replace it too right now but prefer to wait
till later this summer

If you are able to install a new hot water heater, you certainly should
be able to move an existing one. �Drain it to lighten the load. �
Disconnect. �Move. �Reconnect. �If you have all the fittings and parts,
should take half a day max.

my concern is my old heater springing a leak from being moved.

moving it will be no problem, its a temporary install, with flexible
lines ore a few days so french drain install and wall can be painted.
