Any idea what a
plumber charges for parts and labor (for 2 of them)?

The last time I saw a sign in Home Depot ( Houston) their example was
40 gal gas (G.E. I think) installed 495.00*
* Normal installation.
Normal installation probably means,ground floor, direct access (no moving
anything), no new inlet or outlet lines, no sweat fittings, no drain pan, no
drain line, no new pop-off valve etc.
Throwing all that in you're probably looking at $600.
On two 52 gallon I'd say around $850.00 each would get it.
AND you get to clean up after them for FREE!
