    I paid $800 to have a water heater installed. In all the "fees" they tacked on was $80 for the permit. They also tacked on $125 to bring it up to the latest code and they did not. I ain't doing shit.

    Til your house burns down caused by improper water heater install and the insurance company sees the permit was pulled but not inspected. Then they give you the big .

    op: if you go the store brand route only go with GE from Home Depot. The kenmore, sears, state, whirlpool is the biggest pile of shit water heater there is. 70% of the water heater trouble calls are to clean the screen and or replace the pilot assembly on those.

    plumbers grade: Rheem/ruud or Bradford white.

    Best of luck.

    Thats strange what went wrong with them? We've installed 100+ of the dark grey Ruud tanks with no issues. The 6 years I've been doing this we've had to replace maybe 12 for leaking within the firs 6 years.

    It's a measure of the civility in this country that no ones seems to fear constantly pissing off the people who own lots of guns.

    All, many thanks for the input. Agreed on the permit....city just wants a piece of the action, but its cheap insurance is if something goes kaboom. This exactly I thought it would be a good idea to have an experts input on the matter.
