[Shop-talk] water heating installation

[Tim .]

House has gas with a "T" in the line for the water heater. The gas line will be 10-12'.

It is a good sized house with two full bathrooms. I want to make sure that the water heater is big enough for a family when we finally sell.

Would a slightly smaller sized tank make that much different in the price though?

That seem within reason, but need more data.  Do you already have other gas appliances?  If so, how far will new gas lines need to be run?  That is a HUGE water heater, are you sure you need 75 gallons?  We went from a 60 Gallon electric to a 50 gallon gas and were quite happy, the gas heater recovered much faster than the electric one.

We need to replace an aging electric water heater before it fails. We are switching to gas. Does close to $3000 for a 75 gallon and labor (including the venting) sound right to you all? We live in southern WI.
thanks
