What affects the cost?
- Tank vs tankless — tankless units cost more upfront but last longer (20+ years vs 10–15) and use less energy
- Capacity and flow rate — larger tanks and higher GPM tankless units cost more
- Location of the unit — difficult access (crawlspace, attic) increases labor costs
- Code requirements — permits, expansion tanks, drain pans, or seismic strapping may be required locally
- Brand and efficiency — high-efficiency and premium brands (Rinnai, Navien) cost 30–50% more than standard models
How to save
- Compare quotes — get at least 3 estimates; prices vary significantly between installers
- Buy the unit yourself — some installers mark up equipment 20–40%; buying direct can save money
- Schedule off-peak — spring and fall tend to be slower seasons with better pricing
