Anyone confirm if this is the right ballpark? I guess it's been too long since I had this done. (I was expecting half that price)

Here's a link of what Lowes has in stock in Trailwinds in 40 and 50 gallon electric tanks, most are between $300 and $400. I use Kiley and Sons for plumbing, they charge by the hour. Yes, they install something you buy yourself, I had them install a sink in September I bought at Home Depot. They charge by the hour, two years ago I had them install a new disposal, the hour rate was $100, he did the disposal in 30 minutes so I had him fix two other items in the remaining time. Here's the sink they just put in. He had removed the old sink and faucet, cut the countertop with a jigsaw, close off one drain and change the disposal from the old sink to the new sink, install this professional faucet, that's not granite but the original formica, took him about two hours, I wouldn't even attempt that myself even with the help of youtube.
