[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 2002128, member: 24583"] I do stuff for myself, however, I would suggest you go by Lowe's and talk to them to decide which water heater you might want. A,B or C They contract out installation at a relatively reasonable price with no excessive markup on the heater YOU want, and 98% of the time good installers. That a better deal/recommendation than you are looking at where he picks out the cheapest for you. All you are looking for is a good water heater with no water or gas leaks, three connections, cold supply in, hot water out, gas to the flame. No big deal. The water valves usually need to be replaced, they rust away with the water heater by design. Both of mine were electric, picked them up from Lowes, flicked the breakers, turned off the water, drained them, replaced them. Just as easy as replacing a sink faucet, just have use a 2 wheel dolly after draining. 2 hour job if you stop and drink a beer or two. Your mileage may vary. [/QUOTE]
