TECO does not install the water heater. They give you a list of approved plumbers that will install the unit and then the cost of the heater is handled by TECO. Cost of piping and valves is handled by the plumber. I called TECO they gave me a few plumbers and I contacted them they came and gave me an estimate for the work. I then choose the one with the best price and they installed the water heater and all the necessary pipes and valves. Sorry I do not remember the plumbers name.Our home required about 20 feet of gas pipe with regulator and about 10-15 feet of water pipe with a valve. I had an electric tank that was removed and disposed of by the plumber. New heater is installed on the outside wall. I gained enough space to put a shelving unit in the garage closet.
