Sounds like an "estimate charge" to me just disguised to look sound something else. Estimate to paint your home or diagnostic to see why your WH is leaking, same thing. If you don't hire them you still have to pay. Their name was on the water heater as they were the original installers. I believe they still do it but not sure which is why I won't post their name but they are one of the "major" players here. I'm sure it happens more than you think.
