Pride Plumbing came out and provided a cost estimate to replace a 40-gallon electric water heater with a new 40-gallon electric model (this would include removing and disposing of the old water heater after disconnecting its electrical connections and inlet and outlet water lines; installing water heater pads, the water heater, thermal expansion tank, ball water shut-off valves, PEX and stainless steel water supply lines to the water heater's water connections, brass drain valve, connecting the unit’s electrical connections (adding a Romex connector), bleeding the air out of the water lines, ensuring that the unit’s temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve was properly vented, and setting the unit to its appropriate operating temperature).
