You should also ensure the company uses high-quality material, and ask about the schedule and turnaround time for your proposed project.

Don’t expect to fetch a high price, though—water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren’t high-value metals. Some components are made of more valuable metals, like brass and copper, but they’re a small portion of the heater and won’t affect the price much.
