A plumber charges $720 to replace a gas hot water heater or do it yourself $480 and save 33 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The behind-the-scene workhorse that keeps everyone happy in a household is the hot water heater, which supplies comfortable bathing, and clean dishes and clothes for everyone. When a gas-operated heater stops producing hot water, usually after a good service life of 10 years or more, a replacement unit is needed sooner, not later, to keep everyone happy and humming along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A plumber will charge $720 to remove the old unit and replace it with a 40-gallon energy-efficient, gas, hot water heater. This includes the labor and material. If you have good plumbing and electric wiring skills and tools, you can make the swap for $480 and save more than half for your efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plan on spending a good six hours making the switch. But you&#8217;ll need to have your gas company or a licensed plumber make the final fuel connections. Check with your local building department to find out exactly what&#8217;s required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter who makes the replacement, schedule in some time to clean and paint the area after the old tank is removed and before the new one is installed. Use a shop vacuum to clean out dust and dirt and give the walls and area a quick coat of paint if it\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The job involves disconnecting and removing the old unit and muscling it out of the house &#8211; no easy task when you have to get the brut through a narrow hallway or up a steep basement stairwell. In most cases, a plumber will remove the old unit, but if you do it yourself, you may have to pay your garbage service an extra fee to dispose of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s Lowes instructions to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lowes.com\/projects\/repair-and-maintain\/install-a-gas%3Cp%3E-water-heater\/project?cm_mmc=search_google-_-FY15%20Rough%20Plum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Install a Gas Water Heater.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TIP<\/strong>: Once a year partially drain the tank to remove the sediment that builds up so the unit can work efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line: compare the price of a contractor\u2019s bid to replace a gas hot water heater with what it costs to do it yourself and make your decision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out a few more related articles on DYI-ing: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/install-electric-water-heater\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cost to Install an Electric Water Heater<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/install-water-softener\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cost to Install a Water Softener <\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/diyornot.com\/costs\/install-hot-water-sink-dispenser\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cost to Install a Hot Water Sink Dispenser<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The average price to Replace a Gas Water Heater noted above is cost data to compare a contractor\u2019s estimate with doing it yourself.
