These are benchmarks, not quotes
Ranges assume straightforward access and standard materials. What actually determines your price is what is found once work begins — failed shutoffs, code upgrades triggered by the work, and access. A contractor who can explain why their number differs from this range is usually the one to hire.
Already have a quote?
Check the price against the typical range for your area and review the terms — scope, permits, warranty, insurance and payment schedule — before you sign anything.
Analyze a quoteNot sure it needs replacing?
Compare the cost per remaining year of a repair against replacement over the new unit’s full expected life. Age changes the answer far more than a percentage rule of thumb does.
