Just wondering if anyone knew of a good plumbing outfit to install a new water heater for me. I need a 50 gallon 40,000 btu water heater.. AO Smith or bradford white.
I am getting conflicting views on the price i received... $1350 & $1375 to replace my current gas water heater..
Also, do you think that 50 Gal 40K btu is enough for family of 4?
They are quoting me for a standard AO Smith (Promax)
I live in Roslyn, I have a gas heating system forced air furnace. 2.5 Bathrooms, 4 people, 2 of whom are children. Tank is easily accessible... right next to outside wall.
Never went to home depot.. just called a couple of plumbers.
I had an electric 52g installed by Lowes about 5 years ago and it cost me less than $500 complete (outside NY rate).
I don't know what type of tank they are using, but looking at the Home Depot tank prices it seems they are charging nearly $1000 for labor. Here's a link that may be helpful:
A 40 gallon HW heater will be fine. I pesonally would go to Lowes or Home Depot and look at "40 gallon gas fired hot water heater" prices.
Buy it yourself then call around and tell them you already have the tank you just need it hooked up. If you are getting quotes more then $400 for just the install its to much.
Thanks everyone.... I did do a search for the water heater, and it is about $500 or so with tax for the one I want... 50 gallon, 40K btu... 800 bux for install and removal of old tank??
