Hi
I am getting a Rheem gas water heater (50 gallon) replaced at my home. It is still under warranty. Can someone please advice me what I should expect to pay for installation? This is first time so I want to make sure I do not overpay much.

Thanks

Call and ask the installers, your question on here can very, want a guess, $0 if labor is included in the warranty, $? - $300, depending on who it is, where you live, distance to home, access to heater.

If you are asking the plumber to deliver the new one and haul away the old one, I would think $250 to $409 depending on where you live.

See now uttu,

See how you get many guessed prices, next one might tell you a min of $500.

No why can we give you a cost here on line

Yeah -- I'm the next one. $500, minimum!! (LOL!!)

Seriously, it's like Ron (Plumber 2K) is saying -- we CAN'T give you a price or number that means anything. There are simply TOO MANY variables. What you'll pay in some wide spot in the road in Missouri or Arkansas, versus what you'll pay in downtown SF or NYC -- that's not comparing apples and oranges, that's comparing ... never mind.

If you are concerned about the number of dollars where you live, call a couple of plumbers in the area and get their estimates.
