Rheem 40 gal hot water heater
OK, Single mom, just after Christmas, slow leak in water tank...
I called and the guys from Payless water heaters are coming tomorrow... to give a quote. I'v e tried to research to see what is a reasonable cost for replacement, and what is needed for install, warm blanket, strapping, permit...
I think I can replace with a Rheem, 40 gal 6 year warranty model, at
I have a small home --- tiny 600 square foot cottage, two teens, and me... one bath, dishwasher, and washer dryer.... the current has a slow leak, tiny at bottom, that I noticed when I went to see if a new larger will fit... it never filled the tub with hot water... but was fine for showers and all else.. but I want the tub to fill which is why I am on the quest in the first place, but seeing water in the pan, well it is time too.
I am hoping to do this, is that reasonable? They offer a coupon online for $50 off... and they have 30 years in the business....
Am I reasonable to think I can get this installed for under $1000?
The company pushes B/White but after reading I think Rheem is better... am I right there too...
As a single mom, it's tough dealing with car repair guys, car salesmen, and plumber-electricians-repair men, etc.... I never know if the price is good, great, crappy, or a complete rip off....
Please advise with words I can use with the guy tomorrow... I have some time and can comparision shop....
I want to stay away for just having lowes or home depot installing, rather get a reg plumber, who stands by his work and product he installs...
Help?
Thanks guys...
