Most comparisons in this trade are written to sell the more expensive option. This one is not, because in a lot of Northern Utah homes the cheaper option is genuinely the better one, and saying so is the whole basis of how we work.

What it costs either way
Repairs run $225 to $900. Gas replacement $2,100 to $3,250, electric $1,250 to $2,400, power vent $2,900 to $3,400, tankless $3,500 to $5,500. Those are our fitted prices, published so you can do the arithmetic before anyone visits.
