Ask what changed on a water heater replacement

Send this if they hinted the work is different from the walkthrough. Revise the bid after you know the new scope.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

What the old price covered

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.

Do not guess a new number

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. Do you want the tank we priced, or a tankless number before you decide?

If you send it from QuoteLasso

The default schedule is three emails, at 2, 5, and 10 days. Day 10 is the last one. You can move the dates. Add the estimate by typing it in, forwarding the message, or importing a spreadsheet. The customer sees your business name and the address followups@quotelasso.com. A reply comes to your inbox and the remaining follow-ups stop. QuoteLasso does not send texts. During the 14-day trial, due emails can send on their own. After that, Free is manual. Starter is $79/month and Pro is $149/month.

Did the water heater replacement change?

Hi Frank,

Has the water heater replacement changed since I priced it at $2,480? If it has, tell me what is different and I will revise it.

Do you want the tank we priced, or a tankless number before you decide?

Thanks,
