Your water heater cost planner

Choose a system and identify work to discuss. You get a broad planning range and a practical checklist before sharing any contact details.

How this is calculated

The selected system determines the published range. Additional work creates questions to ask, not invented dollar add-ons. HomeGuide covers 40-50-gallon tanks and tankless installation. Angi highlights $3,200-$4,700 for heat pumps and also reports a wider $2,800-$8,000 range. Costs can fall outside these bands. Sources checked October 6, 2026. The model holds the published range constant; it does not price local labour, taxes, permits, upgrades or rebates.
