[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3576885, member: 14646"] The first one i did in my home in 2010 went pretty easy. It took most of the day because it was my first one and didn't want to F something up and be down until i could get a plumber on Monday. New gas lines, new vent pipe, new incoming/outgoing water lines with a shutoff valve on the incoming. When we were prepping the house for sale several months ago our water heater took a crap and it was probably just the thermocoupler thing but i said screw it and called the plumber we have used in the past and he charged about $1300 for a new 40 gallon installed with all new hoses, lines and the whole shebang. He hauled off the old one and only took about 3 hours from start to finish. TOTALLY WORTH IT! Essentially cost me about 500 more than it would have cost me to do myself. However i would have had $1700 in pain, anguish and frustrations. So, i came hour ahead. [/QUOTE]
