About this example
This example is the quote a plumbing company gives homeowners whose 13-year-old gas water heater has started leaking. It replaces the heater with a new 50-gallon high-recovery gas model and brings the installation up to code with a thermal expansion tank, a new gas connector and shutoff, a drain pan and a new vent connector, with the city permit and disposal included.
Homeowners facing a sudden repair want to know why they should replace rather than repair, and what their choices are. This quote answers both: a table of what the plumber found, a short explanation of why the tank cannot be saved, and a side-by-side comparison of a gas tank, a gas tankless and a heat pump water heater with running costs, life expectancy and installed prices. The price is itemized in three sections, followed by the four steps of install day, the warranty, common questions, short terms and an approval block.
