Randy, the estimator was very courteous, polite, punctual, professional. Replacing an existing 40 gallon water heater, with another (very accessible) 40 gallon hot water heater for $3,500 seems very excessive. Googling water heater installations suggests the national average to be around $1,500. The estimate did not provide the name of the water heater. (I was told the name, but do not recall).
Response from Home Energy Experts Inc.:
Thank you for your feedback Larry. I have reviewed the estimate provided to you by Randy and the water heater that was included in your estimate is out of the norm of a standard 40 gallon water heater and there is required safety code requirements that are needed. If you would like to speak about this further, or if we can be of any further assistance, please give our office a call at (775) 786-4357. Sincerely, Eric Robnett
