Need to replace leaking water heater in Chino Hills Just got a $2700.00 quote, Ha Ha Joke! Should we use a local contractor or Lowe's/Home depot?
Thanks, but the water heater $$$$ will be enough, sorry no plain ticket todayLocal if you can find a good one...if you want to pay for a plane ticket ii can come do it for you
Wish I saw this earlier. I actually know how to sweat copper and have the equipment to do this. I'd have only charged you a couple of bottles of titos.
Well it's a 6 year Bradford from builder, that lasted 11 years with no maintenance. I'ts probably time?if its leaking it needs replaced ? lots of times its just the thermo coupler :cool easy fix
That was a quote from the company that did the original installation, I laughed!!!Why the fuck would it cost $2700 for a water heater?
Replace it...Bradford or AO Smith. The rest are eh compared. What size is it? $2700, I'm curious what the price was for

We did ours two weeks ago. 50 gallon Rheem electric from Home Depot $309. Installed by a plumber from our local paper was $100.

Whats the deal with the permit. It can't be that hard. Can I do it myself and bypass the permit?
it depends on the building department, some are very easy others will bend you overWhats the deal with the permit. It can't be that hard. Can I do it myself and bypass the permit?

Yes where I am at a permit is required for a sprinkler, You would be surprised. Hell a garbage disposal or dishwasher require a permit as well. They want there share of the $$$$.
How do you maintain a water heater? When I installed our water heater 22 years ago (and still purring) I also installed a faucet at the bottom of the tank. Once a year I hook up a garden hose, open the faucet and flush out all the sediment...
Jerry and Lisa,
You're very welcome. I'm glad Walter was able to get you squared away in a short amount of time. Cold showers are no fun!
See , now everyone knows you are a niceguy Eddie. .
I guess this is what rich people do. Us poor folk go down and buy a hot water heater and put one in the day it breaks.
I think their cold showers are fun together
I hear ya Milky...
I have done a couple myself but the way my life is going right now there is always a problem. And sure enough there was, the gate valve was frozen open and broke internally when it was closed. We were able to make it work but Walter needs to sweat a new valve on today since he didn't have his work van with him on Sunday.
