One question to ask about a water heater replacement estimate
Pick one line of the bid. A follow-up that rewrites the whole scope does not get answered.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
The line that gets replies
Do you want the tank we priced, or a tankless number before you decide? Put $2,480 in the email so they know which water heater replacement you mean.
Included and left out
Included: a 50-gallon gas water heater, haul-away, and the code straps and pan. Left out: a reroute of the flue, if the inspector wants metal instead of the existing vent. The price includes the code pieces a retail install sometimes leaves out, which is why it is not the sticker on the tank. Do not match a retail price by leaving out the pan, the straps, or the permit.
