How much does water heater installation cost?

<div>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-water-heater-installation-cost.htm#">cost to install a new water heater</a> is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work.

Is it hard to install your own water heater?

<div>It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.</div>

How much do plumbers typically charge?

<div><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plumber-cost.htm">The average cost to hire a plumber</a> is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350. </div>

"I am extremely upset and disappointed with the service provided by Alec, who initially contacted me through Angi List regarding a tree removal project at my residential property. On Monday, April 7, 2025, Alec visited my home and quoted me $2,000 for the removal of three trees, complete stump grinding, debris removal, and area cleanup. We agreed on a scheduled service date of Wednesday, April 9, 2025. On Tuesday, April 8, Alec called and asked to come early due to a cancellation. I declined because I needed to notify my neighbor. He came on the originally scheduled date, cut down the two trees, but only hauled away half the debris and did absolutely nothing to the stumps. He claimed to have applied a chemical that would decompose the stumps in three days and promised to return with help to complete the work. Alec then changed the total price to $1,800 because only two trees were cut. Despite my reservations, I paid the full $1,800 based on his promise to return on Friday, April 11, to: • Remove the remaining debris that was pushed into the woods, • Properly grind and remove the stumps, • Clean the area, • Repair the lawn with grass seed damaged by his equipment. Since then, Alec has been unreliable and unresponsive. I reached out multiple times via calls and text. He responded briefly, saying he was under a truck and would call back, he never did. On Saturday, April 12, I followed up again. He replied via text that he was dealing with truck issues and would return late Monday with help. That also did not happen. I had my son contact Alec from a different number, and he answered. Once Alec realized it was about the unfinished work, he quickly rushed off the phone and he said he would come on April 17. That date also passed without any response or action from him. Despite repeated calls and texts, I have been completely ignored. As of today, the job remains half-done. The stumps are untouched, debris is still scattered, and the lawn is damaged. It will now cost me an additional $1,200 to complete this time-sensitive project properly. This experience has been extremely frustrating and unprofessional. I am requesting a full refund of the $1,800 due to failure to deliver the agreed-upon services and for the stress, inconvenience, and additional financial burden this has caused."
