[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our HW heater is approaching 20yrs and stories like the earlier poster prompted me to buy a new HW heater this week with install scheduled for early next week. The stress of a catastrophic HW heater failure and damage to the basement is not worth the risk of deferring an expense. [/quote] How much is it costing? I think we need to do this. [/quote] They run around $600-$1000 for 40-50gallon gas or electric ones. Easy DIY install. Watch some youtube videos. Just turn off old one, drain, detach lines, dope up threads on new lines (always replace the inlet/outlet lines) put in new heater, attach lines, fill with water first, then turn it on and check for leaks/operation. Takes about 20-30 min DIY including drain time. [/quote] It took my plumber 2 hours but you can do it in 20 min LMAO If you were that good, you could be clearing 200k as a plumber.[/quote]
