How did you come up with that size? From what I have read, gas
heaters are typically smaller than electric because they recover
quicker. For example,
<a href="https://www.totalhomesupply.com/water-heater-sizes" eudora="autourl">
https://www.totalhomesupply.com/water-heater-sizes</a> says if your
family size is <b>5 or more</b>, you’ll need an <b>80-gallon tank
(electric)</b> or a <b>50-gallon tank (natural gas or liquid
propane)</b>. As you said, I don't know how much the price
would change with a smaller heater. Also, I assume you have
considered the tankless option. <br><br>

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.
