I don't know, but can tell you once we heard about this from our handyman (who has tried to help a couple people who had no idea how they were being overcharged), we began to ask others if they had heard of this. We heard from one resident, who thankfully had a bit of knowledge, about that same company charging 4 TIMES the rate of others to remove a gas tank water heater, and instill the SAME capacity heater in the same location on the existing pad... nothing new had to be done. The installation, MINUS the cost of the same O.A. Smith 40 gal. (apples to apples) was 4 times quoted by others. One bad review of any business can be suspect, but do your own investigation from neighbors you trust on this one.
