My old hot water heater just gave out, and I'm looking to replace it with a tankless model, which will also require adding a water softener. Additionally, I'll need a new electrical circuit installed for it. I've gotten a quote for the job, but I'm not sure if it's reasonable or on the higher side. What should I be expecting to pay for the entire installation, including labor?

It's a good idea to get a few more quotes from different contractors. That way, you'll have a clearer idea if your current quote is too high or reasonable. Prices can vary quite a bit depending on where you live and the specifics of the work, so comparing is key!
Keep in mind that electric tankless units require a lot of power. Make sure your electrical panel can handle it. It's good to know that the company is installing a dedicated circuit if there's room in your breaker box. That should help avoid any issues down the line!
Yeah, they mentioned the circuit installation, and I checked; we have enough capacity, so I should be good on that front. Thanks for the heads up!
Right? Once you have a few quotes, you can even make them compete for your business. That’s how you get the best deal!
