There were having a sale about 4 months ago and the 40 gallon was $1370. I had probably $30 in fittings and pipe. I tied the condensate line into the existing condensate drain.
I've helped my plumber helper install a handful of these for other people since then and there's additional cost if you have your water heater in a closet because you have to add some ducting for the exhaust and open a supply hole in the upper wall of the utility closet. Here's one he did recently.
The white circle at the top of the wall is where the cold air comes out.
