Explain the lead time on a water heater replacement
Send this when the holdup is the wait before work can start, not whether they liked the price.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
What sets the date
A failed water heater is a this-week job. A working one you are replacing by choice can wait for the permit window. Tank versus tankless is often a second person's question after they see only the tank price.
Do not skip the wait
Do not match a retail price by leaving out the pan, the straps, or the permit. The price includes the code pieces a retail install sometimes leaves out, which is why it is not the sticker on the tank.

When the water heater replacement can start
Hi Frank, The water heater replacement estimate is $2,480. The start date depends on this: A failed water heater is a this-week job. A working one you are replacing by choice can wait for the permit window. If you want it, tell me and I will line up the next step. I will not start before that is set. Thanks, Rosa Diaz Diaz Plumbing
