I'm looking at a buying a house with 2 water heaters, 1 40 gallon & 1 80
gallon. Inspector says both are old (40 gal 1982!) & should be replaced
soon. Bigger tank is on main floor of house, so a leak would be a bitch.
From what I have found online, the tanks go for ~ $315 for the 40 & $475 for
the 80 gallon. I'm wondering about how much installation would be. Trying
to come up with a figure for this & some other items to present to the
seller for a price reduction.

Thanks

Dan

An important thing you left out. Are the HWT's gas or electric?

OOOOOPS!.....my fault...sorry.... If your looking at buying the house,
get a quote from a plumber to remove, supply and install.. You can figure on
about $100 dollars removal fees (dump fees etc) each. Reconnection should be
about the same for each unit. Jim
