So I called Ben Franklin. They did send someone and determined that a new water heater was necessary. The cost was outrageous but I felt I had no option since I had promised to take care of it. I had to replace water heaters in 2 other rentals this year (talk about bad luck!) One was in January, and cost $695 and the other was in July at $607. Ben Franklin was prompt and competent, but their price was double what I would have paid with anyone else.

The next day, after I talked this over with my husband, I OK'd the replacement of the bladder tank, and they were able to get out and do it that same day. They recommended that we get a plumber to replace the anode rod in the water heater, because it isn't working right to remove rust and smell. (I wish they could handle that, too!) I am going to wait and recover a bit financially before getting a plumber to go out to deal with the anode rod. The water heater has only been there for a few months because we just replaced it.

The average cost to install a new water heater 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. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.
