Add-ons, only when your home needs them

|---|---|---|
| Drain pan and drain line | $125 | The heater sits in a finished basement, closet or anywhere a leak would damage floors. |
| Garage stand (raises a gas burner 18 inches) | $175 | A gas heater in a garage that is sitting on the floor. |

| Vent connector (flue pipe) replacement, same route | $145 | The metal vent pipe on top is rusty, crushed or undersized. |

Pricing questions
Why don't you need to see my house first?
Most replacements are the same job: the same size tank in the same spot with the same hookups. Your answers and four photos tell the plumber everything needed. If the photos show something different, we tell you and confirm before any work starts.
What if I don't know my tank size?
Pick "Not sure" and tell us how many people live in the home. We price a 40-gallon tank for 1–2 people, 50 gallons for 3–4, and 75-gallon gas or 80-gallon electric for 5 or more. The label photo confirms it.
Is a 30-gallon tank cheaper?
30-gallon tanks are priced the same as 40-gallon tanks, because the labor, permit and parts are the same.
What could change my price?
Only the add-ons listed on this page, and only with your OK. For example, a gas tank on a garage floor needs a stand, and a heater in a finished basement needs a drain pan. If something on site doesn't match your answers and you decide not to go ahead, the most you pay is the $95 trip fee.
Can I buy my own water heater and have you install it?
Not online right now. Call or text (801) 555-0123 and we'll tell you whether we can help.
