Most of the warranties I have seen only cover labor the first year … So it is relatively easy to rack up $200 to $300 in plumber costs.
I recently replaced my 20 year old gas water heater. Total cost for a 40 gallon heater, new drip pan, new expansion tank plus installation was just under $1,000 after $350 TECO gas rebate.
I bought a heater with a 6 year warranty after I was told by the manufacturer that the 10 year warranted heater was exactly the same … it just was more expensive because of the additional warranty period

Not true for Rheem water heaters. The Rheem 6-year and 9-year water heaters are not exactly the same. The Rheem 6 and 9 year units both heat the same amount of water, but the 9-year unit has several additional control and cleaning features that are not on the 6-year unit.
