1 Answer from this member: Unless you are very experienced on replacing water heater elements, Yes, I strongly recommend draining the tank first. Otherwise, it could cause a lot of damage. To drain the tank, be sure to turn the breaker and supply water valve off and open any hot water tap in the house.
First, turn off the power to your air conditioning unit, even if it isnât running. With the unit turned off, check the tubing on and around your unit to make sure there are no cracks, holes, or leaks in the drain line. If you find any, these pieces should be replaced. Once you have determined that there are no issues, the next step is to remove the water from the drain pan. The easiest way to do this is with a wet/dry shop vac, which you can pick up at your local hardware store. Simply vacuum up all of the water and dispose of it.
