Yeesh! Expensive!
As much as I hate plumbing, I WILL change out my own water heater. It's in a great location, breezeway to the garage. I can haul my new water heater from the store in my pickup, remove the old and install the new in a short time, and roll the old heater out to the street where a special unit of trash collection will haul it out for free. (unless the scrappers grab it first).
No permit required, and it's not that difficult of a job.
