Pricing variation comes from license tier (master vs. journeyman), overhead (larger companies vs. sole proprietors), parts markup policy, and whether the job requires pulling permits. Always confirm that permit fees are included in the quote for water heater replacements and re-pipes.
Tank water heater replacement typically runs $900–$2,200 installed, including disposal of the old unit. Tankless (on-demand) heater installation ranges from $1,500–$4,500 depending on gas vs. electric and whether new gas lines or electrical upgrades are needed.
