We need to replace our water heater and I have one quote but I'd like to get a few more.
Does anyone have a good plumber?
Im in Carrollton.

The one that needs to be removed was installed in 2001 so its all way out of code. Plus you need a permit from the city to do any work on a water heater. Its also hard piped in.wbt5845 said:
I had my hot water heater go out on Christmas Eve and couldn't get any plumbers to come out same day.
I was forced to go to Home Depot and do it myself. It was much easier to install than I suspected. I paid $520 for a 55 gallon heater and did the job in about an hour.
That's an easy enough job you ought to consider doing it yourself.

We never pull permits to install water heaters. Sure we install them up to code, but the fact the city says you need a permit to replace a water heater is laughable. Every plumber we work with will install one without the permit. It will also save you money
Oh, if it's hard plumbed in you're gonna have a much harder time. Mine was 2007 original build and has flex water lines in and out with union fittings. And flex natural gas.LHIOB said:The one that needs to be removed was installed in 2001 so its all way out of code. Plus you need a permit from the city to do any work on a water heater.
