What affects the price

Replacing your water heater involves several variables that change the final bill.

You also have to consider the fuel source, as switching from gas to electric often requires electrical panel upgrades. Size matters too; a larger home needs a unit with higher recovery rates. Finally, local building codes might require additional safety equipment, like expansion tanks or updated venting.
