https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Hot-water-heater-advice/m-p/395071#M170334 <P>Well, wouldn't you know that this close to Christmas our hot water heater had to poop out, and it's only 6 years old and and, of course, a little past the warranty. Today a plumbing company came, couldn't fix it and told me I needed a new one and they wanted over $2,000 to put in a new one. I think that is awfully expensive. I saw that we paid a little over a thousand for the last one (of course, it DID poop out quickly). Is this a fairly normal price ? The one they would install is supposed to be the "Cadillac" of water heaters <IMG src="http://community.qvc.com/DesktopModules/ExactTarget/Controls/TextEditor/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/ohmy.gif" alt="{#emotions_dlg.ohmy}" /> according to this company. Another company I called (referred to us by a friend) said they would put in the same model, etc. for $950. Trouble is, we need financing and the first co. will do that, the second will not. Both companies have been in business for some time and are licensed and bonded.</P> <P>Anyone give me any guidance? We can't wait much longer because we are all dying for hot showers and our dishes are filling up the kitchen.</P> <P>Thanks.</P> Fri, 20 Dec 2013 09:28:26 GMT Pianomama 2013-12-20T09:28:26Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Hot-water-heater-advice/m-p/395071#M170334 <P>Well, wouldn't you know that this close to Christmas our hot water heater had to poop out, and it's only 6 years old and and, of course, a little past the warranty.
