   Depends on what kind, gas or electric. there is plumbing involved electrical hookups and if it is gas you better have a licensed plumber or gas company worker do it. My suggestion to you is to go and buy the one you need and have it installed. Better to pay a plumber for 2 hours and have it done right than to do it wrong and pay him 4 hours to fix it......Make sure you watch closely, then next time you can do it. that's what I did.

   There are guides online on how to install a water heater. You need to look there because the process is far more complicated than what you will find here.
   
   Your best bet, however, is to hire a professional.

   Most people that are DIYers are capabable of changing out a water heater themselves. If you really want to do this, then find a video on youtube that can help.
   If you don't have all of the tools for plumbing then running to the store for parts that you don't have will delay the install finish significantly. Hiring a plumber is well worth it in this case since they can do this quickly.
