Water heater, 一个永恒的话题

My water heater had no problem but was 9 yrs old. When finishing my repipe, my plumber suggested replacing it. I thought it is not a bad idea since he will install it for me and haul away my old one for free. I asked him how much he said about $450.

He installed a Rheem Fury 50 Gals for $450 exact. Based on what I can find from online search, it is a steal!!

Do I have a real good plumber?
