I called them but they have been bought out by Frank Gay.
They would not give me even a ball park estimate over the phone and that only the technician could do that. Someone will be out between 4PM and 8.
4:15 he come and says to do the inspection to determine the price is $39.
The PRICE $2700!!!. No way are you kidding me. Calls the manager and he says he'll reduce the price
$1761.00 if I join the one year Family Plan at $199.
I just laughed and said goodbye
So they got me for $39 and hope they don't get you.
I did get a new water heater the next day $910. which was quoted over the phone by Mike Scott.

Good grief, now that is one scary tale ! We had one go out 2 years ago. Went to HD, bought an O.A. Smith, they delivered it the next day. Hired a retired plumber with 40 year's experience who now lives in the villages and does small jobs like this a couple days a week. He suggested a new expansion tank since it didn't add much to the total. Total was around $700 and HD did not charge to drop off the (gas) water heater.
