My neighbor up the street has a business does various construction stuff. He came down Tuesday, said "we just put one in today, $2,000 I can do it for you for $1,800. I'll take my guys off a flooring job we had planned Thursday and they will be here at 9am"
Water Heater was $928 + the gas lines, etc, and getting it so fast after New Years was great. Put it in today and I have hot water again. They didn't have room for the hot water recirculation pump without somehow cutting a nice insulated hot water line, so I may get my own hoses to relocate it. I've gotten used to having hot water right away after turning on the tap, lol
