Question

Installing a gas water heater. what is the average cost of installation.?

Answer 1

That is going to depend on where you are.  I'd suggest you call around in your area and ask.  Most of them will give you free estimates.

Answer 2

you need to be corgi reg or you could end up in prison

Answer 3

Consider installing a tankless water heater. It's about as big as a phone book. It hangs on the wall and the main water pipe attaches to it. It also needs some electric hookup. But the great thing is that water is heated immediately and you won't have to let the water run until it gets hot. The water always comes out of the faucet hot! It's the newest (actually it's been around 10 years) GREEN way to go! I can't wait until I need a new water heater. : )

Answer 5

My opinion avarage would be $150-$200 for labor.

It depends what you shooting for : company -licensed , insured - possibly could be higher than that.

A handyman with a prep help: new one purchased and brought inside, water from old one let out(takes some time), old one taken out -  probobly could do it for under $100.

It's not that complicated of a job.

Answer 6

Here there are a number of new regs requiring such things as an expansion tank, earthquake straps, pans and drains if on a second floor or over anywhere a leak can cause damage.

And often the shut off valves haven't been moved in years and are bad or won't close completely.

We charged $150 for a "simple" replacement. But it was not unusual for the additional plumbing work needed. like replacing corroded galvanized pipe, valves, straps, pans, plus the addition of an expansion tank to run that $150 up to $400-$600, including the permit they now require.

Sorry.
