Good price, Good product, Good service.

It's not Lowes or Home Depot that has anything to do with the WH install when you contact them. When you contact them they farm it out to a bunch of outside plumbing contractors who all call you with prices and have no actual connection to them other than to have supplied their names and I am sure been vetted for proper insurance & license. Kinda like ANgi's List. I had about 4 calls when I told Lowes I wanted a WH installed. They might be great but they wanted almost $900 JUST FOR THE INSTALL of the water heater. They also wanted to charge a $150 fee for a permit which is not required in Sumter county for the swapout. Most of the local plumbing contractos (Like Scott, Pearce etc) get the same heater from Lowes that their people will supply.
