Water Heater Replacement: What a Written Quote Includes

Before comparing replacement quotes, identify the current water-heater type and the work each installer proposes. Keep the original diagnosis and service history beside the quote.

HomeScore's installed planning ranges are $1,600–$3,200 for a 50-gallon tank, $3,200–$5,600 for gas tankless and $3,800–$6,500 for a 50-gallon heat pump. These are modeled budgets, not local quotes. Compare the equipment and installation scope before choosing.

Use the water-heater replacement cost guide as the single reference for the type-specific ranges and source dates.
