Hi Moms, I have to replace my water heater and my plumber quoted $2000 for a 50 gallon with 10 year warranty. Do you think it’s a reasonable quote? Suggestions please. Thanks.

I just asked my husband too and he said heck NO! The part costs around $600 averaged. Can be more or less. I would get another quote

Yeah that’s too high. You can buy the water heater yourself and then just hire the plumber to install. It’s not all that difficult.

Hard to say depending on the quality of heater they’re installing. Tankless is the way to go now if that’s an option. My husband just started installing them and with kids, it’s great to never run out of hot water
