"I will advice you not to do it. You will flood your house if you don't know where to turn the water off and to drain the water from the system.

"Hi.
Firstly I wouldn't recommend you do this by yourself especially if you have no experience. However if you do still want to attempt it I would advice that you have someone with you that has some experience, have all the vital tools required for the job, aswell as YouTube on hand.
Hope that helps."
