Looking for suggestions regarding the purchase of 40/50 gallon power vent water heater.
Current quoted $3300 including taxes by a local company for a 50 gallon power vent with 2 year labour.
Hi, I bought a townhouse last year, which came with rented water heater tank. And yesterday I had the reliance tech to repair the vent blower and he confirmed that the unit is un repairable due to its age ~18 years. Today i called reliance to check my exit costs from my contract and they confirmed i am on a month to month contract. And they can offer me a replacement, with free 3 months and I will continue on the month to month. So no new contracts. Right now I pay $41 including taxes and I will be paying the same if I were to replace it with them. And they also confirmed if I were to cancel my contract after getting the replacement it will cost me $200 in the first year or if its after the 1st year it will $40 to cancel. And I can either bring the unit to them or they will take if for $65.
I am a single person with 1 income, and I have an okayish emergency fund for there type issues. But is it worth buying one out right now for ~$2500 including installation. And after 1 year they won't be any free labour.
Would like to get some opinions on this.
Hi, The exhaust fan above my water heater is constantly on. I noticed it yesterday. Is it supposed to be on always? I have hot water and no other issues
