| Seems a little high. I was recently quoted 2k, but maybe yours estimate includes a higher-quality unit? |

| Get a tankless! A little but more, but lasts twice as long. |

| Are you installing it yourself? |

| I got two estimates of around $2500 last June, so maybe prices have gone up since then. |

| I’m shocked that they are charging you for the pan, but maybe gas is different than electric… |

| That looks high but not outrageous |

| It’s a little in the high side. We paid $2400 3.5 years ago for a 50 gallon with booster valves and moderate flue work to meet current code. I bought the pan myself at Home Depot. |

Are there any decent tankless water heaters yet? |

| Pre-pandemic I paid $500 for the 50 gallon gas water heater and $800 for my plumber to install. If you go with a well known company with a lot of overhead, you are going to get hosed. Also, most people who are hand could do it themselves. |

| A little high, but I’m also thinking of pre-Covid prices. Probably right in line with average at this point. |

| I'm looking at replacing a water heater and have received a few quotes. This seems to be an easy install but is there any reason to not just pick the lowest quote? Is there any reason to pay an extra $400 to $600? |

I LOVE the tankless water heater that is in our house. Made by Noritz, I think. It's a new build house from a mass builder, so we didn't have any choice on the water heater, but we've been in the house for a couple of years and I'm very happy with it. We always have hot water - never run out (I like LONG showers). Also, more energy efficient so spending less $ on gas bills than we did in our old house (comparing summer usage, so not factoring in heating costs, just the water heater.) |

plenty of decent tankless, as long as your design and use case is good. tankless should not have long plumbing runs, or else you get into the hot/cold cycling problem. if your bathrooms/showers are on the other side of the house from your water heater, you may have problems. also with a single tankless you probably won't be able to run more than two showers at once. |

Do you have any problems with hot water if one or more are showering while the washing machine and dishwasher are on at the same time? |
