The rep called another employee at Shafer and asked him to bring a replacement 40 Gallon Rheem water heater, which he said would be better and more reliable than the Bradford White one I had. The two men disconnected the old heater and carefully removed it from the attic down the swing down trap door in the ceiling, then hauled up the new one and got it all connected. The work included installing an expansion tank which was required by code, new lines, better valves, and fixing the leaking drainage pipe from the catch pan. They also moved the water heater location so it properly lined up with the roof vent pipe, which wasn't even connected to the old water heater thanks to the roofers I had a few years ago who never took care of it properly. When all was said and done the work done was excellent and no mess was left behind, nor any damage I could see. I was told to give the system about 45 minutes to get hot water and the rep helped me make sure the air was bled out of the lines and water was flowing. No issues with the hot water so far. That night out of curiosity I decided to look at the prices of the new water heater they installed. Probably a bad idea. The retail cost was around $550-600! So I felt like maybe I had been taken advantage of. The invoice I was provided didn't break out the pricing of the individual items other than the water heater at $1450 or so for the water heater, the expansion tank (around $140) and the attic access (around $215). So I assumed labor and materials were built into the $1450 cost but $800+ seemed excessive. So I wrote an email to the company that night expressing my concern about the pricing and asking for a breakdown of the costs to justify the amount spent. At 8:30 the next morning I got a call from Charlie Shafer. He seemed very nice and politely explained that all plumbing companies these days are rolling all their costs into single line items, but that the $800+ included the labor, materials, and city permits required, as well as the 1-year warranty they provide if anything goes wrong. He stated he regularly compares his pricing to other vendors and strives only for a 10% profit margin. He said his prices are very competitive compared to others in the area. He also said I could have bought the heater myself and the overall cost would likely have been a bit less, but that he then couldn't warrant the system (not sure if that was just the heater, or the entire job). In any case, he didn't seem like he was out to gouge me but I still thought the price to be a bit high. Regardless, overall I'm very satisfied with their willingness to be there the same day and fix the problem, their punctuality and courteousness, the solid work they did and the professionalism getting the job done. Even the prompt follow-up call to clarify the costs. So even if turns out to be true that I spent more than I should have, there is something to be said about a job well done.

Went to take a shower on a cold January Sunday night and the hot water was ice cold. Climbed up above the garage where the water heater sits and the water heater catch pan was full of water. So I shut off the water supply and gas to the heater and called Shafer Services on Monday morning...

"This is the worst sprinkler company we have ever used. They used to be much better. We needed to have our system reinstalled after a year of disuse, as well as our control box. There was a lot going on here when they came out, and I never did monitor them. We xeriscaped our front yard and wanted to convert that to used less water. They charged us over $1000 to convert to higher sprays, but they kept finding leaks and the price kept going up. They were supposed to check our back and side yards too, but since they were here, several heads have broken off. Why didn't they do a proper inspection? Also they reinstalled my control box and it cannot be manually controlled, or programmed. When these leaks in the back happened, they charged me $100 to fix one pipe and replace a head (they claimed it had checked before and charged me to come out and do a replacement. WHY DIDN'T THEY DO A COMPLETE CHECK AND ESTIMATE THE FIRST TIME? I HAD ALSO THOUGHT OF DRIP IRRIGATION ON AN INITIAL VISIT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I mentioned this during the working visit and told me that it would cost me $6,000 or more--and this was AFTER they fixed some leaks."

FAQs for plumbing and heating service projects in Universal City, TX
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.
