TECO has a list of licensed contractors you can pick from. They all get $300-400 for labor plus the appliance profit (outrageous!). Home Depot and Lowes also sub-contract the work. Water Heaters manufactured AFTER June 1st must meet the new energy saving standards and will cost $100-200 more than older ones. You may still find pre-6/1/15 heaters in stock if you're lucky. I knew this was coming last month so ordered mine for $379, installed it myself and just got a rebate check from TECO for $350. Replace 15 Y.O. heaters before they fail. It was a no-brainer. Cost me $29 and an hours time.
