I paid $1420 for the water heater and they were charging $1100 for the removal of the old one and installation of the new one.
Dang. I just put in a 50 power vent for my buddy Saturday. My cost on the heater 870 delivered and I charged him 100. It took 2 hours because the gas pipe was different by 5" and I had to rework the pvc exhaust. We put his old 50 power vent at the curb, scrap guys will get it. I guess i let him off cheap.
