A repair starts at $225 fitted. Replacing a gas water heater starts at $2,100. That gap of roughly nine to one is why we diagnose before quoting rather than after.
How we work it out
The serial number first, for the build year. Then the symptom traced to a component. Then whether the steel tank itself is still sound.
That takes about twenty minutes and it happens before anyone talks about money.
