Have different plumbing companies give you estimates.
Hi Marquerite, I suggest getting at least three estimates and insure that you are comparing similar quality units. I've included a link listing the top 10 rated ones currently. Hope this helps you with your questions. Personally, I've purchased Rinnai tankless ones in the past and was very pleased with their performance.

I would check out the going prices, but different companies may use different brands. I would look up the different ones and what kind of reviews they all get, then start checking out plumbing companies and make sure what they use is a good one, it they don't, see if they will use a better one. Good luck, Marguerite!
M. get a minimum of 3. 4 or 5 is better. Also find out exactly how they will do it and ask if they remove old tank. Some places will charge extra for that.
Yes, find out how much the units cost so you have a baseline for estimates. Typically 3 written estimates is a great rule of thumb. But, until you are 1000% comfortable with your decision, get as many as you see fit. Here are some tips on finding and hiring contractors.
