That's like asking someone how much does a book cost?


Learn how to better define the parameters of your questions fella...

Are you asking, "installation only" or "purchase and installation"?

In a home or on the 24th floor of a downtown condo building?

Where is it located, in Manhattan or in McCook, Nebraska?

Is it replacing an existing heater, and if so is it the same size?

Try again please...

Sorry,
a single home, easy access in Laundry Room.
electric tank, 40 gallon, replacement.

Should I purchase and pick it up myself?
Or should I let the installer?

I was looking to see what installation should cost by itself so I don't get
raked over the coals.

South Jersey, just outside of Philadelphia

Their $250 installation quickly turns into $400!!! Cost me $700 or soo
for a 40 gal gas heater.

If you can pick it up yourself you might as well replace it too. Pick
up an appliance dolly and appropriate wrenches while you are at it.
Just remember to turn off the electrical breaker and water, drain the
hot water and double check the electric is off once you get the panel
off the old heater.

In all seriousness, the hardest part of installing an electric heater is
hauling the old one out and the new one in.

They didn't say what the fuel was but a 40 gal NG fueled heater is
plenty for an average family.

Wasn't my choice, it was the customers choice based on the amount of
hot water they use. If you don't use it why heat it?
