My hot water tank is over 13 years old (exact age unknown) and I just got a quote from a local plumber of $2,000 for a standard 50 gallon gas hot water heater. There is a high recovery water heater option for a few hundred more.
People I've talked to said that's crazy and that I can go to Home Depot and have it done for a few hundred.
Would you guys recommend using HD? I don't have any experience with using the big box stores for installs but for whatever reason I'm not 100% confident in these guys.
Am I nuts? Should I just let them do it for a fraction of the cost?
