Add your company, the plumbing customer, the report number, technician, and the equipment make, model, and serial you are commissioning.
Log each performance reading against its target — the template comes pre-loaded with the measurements that matter for this trade, and you can add or remove rows.
Mark each start-up check pass, fail, or N-A, then set the overall result. The running counts show at a glance whether the system commissioned cleanly.
Add any recommendations, sign as the technician, and export a clean PDF, Excel, or Word file for the customer file and your warranty records.
A water heater start-up is more than turning on the gas. The set temperature, incoming water pressure, gas and manifold pressure, and recovery time all confirm the unit is safe and performing to spec — and the T&P test, venting check, and leak test confirm it will not become a call-back or a hazard.
Documenting the commissioning protects the customer and your license. It validates the manufacturer warranty, proves the install met code, and gives you a signed baseline if anything is questioned later. It also shows the homeowner that a professional stood behind the work.
Use this free plumbing start-up report to commission every heater the same way. Pair it with CloseCrew so Larry, your AI receptionist, keeps the schedule full while your plumbers focus on a clean, code-compliant start-up.

It is the commissioning record a plumbing technician completes when new equipment is first put into service — documenting the performance readings, the verification checks, and a pass/fail result that proves the system was installed and started up correctly.
It protects everyone. The readings prove the equipment is operating within spec, the report is often required to validate the manufacturer warranty, and it gives you a documented baseline to compare against on the next service call. It also demonstrates a professional, code-conscious install to the customer.
Complete it at the time of commissioning — immediately after the new equipment is installed and first started, before you leave the site. Recording the readings while the system is running and stabilized is the only way to capture accurate values.
Many manufacturers require a documented start-up to honor the full parts and labor warranty, and some ask for the readings on registration. Keeping a signed commissioning report on file protects the customer and your company if a warranty claim comes up later.
Yes. Build and download it free as a PDF, Excel, or Word file — no login. The readings and checks are pre-loaded for plumbing equipment and fully editable for your process.
