Is $3,500 to replace a 50 gallon power vent gas hot water heater a fair price?
Project Details
I am located in NJ and was quoted $3500 to replace a 50 gal power vent gas hot water heater. I previously paid around $1300 for an electric unit at my father's house and am wondering if gas is worth the extra cost given current prices.
