I need to know how much the heater is, too.

Can anyone tell me what I should expect to pay to have a tankless water heater installed?
I had a plumber out today and asked him and he gave me a verbal quote of $3000-$4000 which I thought was rediculusly high. I’ve estimated on my own the cost of the heater needed is pretty low, between $600 and $900 so based on the quote I was given they’re talking 30-40 hours of labor to install?
Basically, all that needs to be done from what he said is a new larger gas line run to where the water heater is which would be about 10 feet and then new vent ducting to the roof which is about 30 feet. And if I go with the bosch 1600H there’s no need for electricity since the water flow provides the power for the ignition.
Thanks.

I just had an inspection on a home I’m under agreement to purchase and I’m overwelmed! The top 13 rows of brick on the chimney are shot along with the lining in the 2 flues. The roof shingles are on the brink of failure and the rafters can’t be vented because the cathedral ceiling is insulated without baffles. the sills and window frames are rotted, the bottom 2′ of board and batten siding is seriously rotted, we will need to move the electric meter to access some of the rotted siding, one toilet moves, one leaky heat pipe, bottom of garage door is rotten. We also need gutters. My time frame is narrow so any experience/advice on price would be appreciated. Thank you

A typical home water heater holds 50 gallons of water. Assuming the water heater is electric and the electric company charges $.08 per kilowatt-hour, what would be the cost of heating a full tank of water from 20 degrees celsius to 80 degrees celsius?

I mean just livable space (like one large room.) Heat, cooling, walls, floor, etc. No need for plumbing up there. Thanks in advance.

I just purchased an 1860’s house and plan on fixing it up. My problem is when we get an inspection of the house (for an occupancy permit to live in it) I’m terrified they’re going to want me to change everything. I understand some codes are safety issues and should be done, but some things that have nothing to do with safety I’m afraid would change the historic charm of the house. We also want to go non-electric in the house and I’ve heard you are required to have electricity now. I’ve read that in my state I can fill out a “green sheet” and submit it to the state and if they declare my home a historic site then it waives some of the requirements. But someone told me it costs $1500 to do this. I don’t want any grant money or anything, I just don’t want an inspector to change everything about the house, but I can’t afford $1500. Is there really a fee to do this or not?

A week ago a game of darts resulted in a pin sized puncture of a copper pipe in my basement, causing a slow drip. I put some putty on it and covered it with two clamps and a piece of rubber. That worked for a little while but the dripping started again with much greater frequency and even spurting at times. I called a plumber and his solution was to replace the pipe completely; which is what I anticipated. What I did not anticipate though was the price he quoted me of $780!! I had anticipated that the price for this would be in the $200-$300 range. $780 seems quite excessive. Is this a fair price? I want to get this problem fixed properly and safely, but I don’t want to get ripped off? Any recommendations or insights would be appreciated.

we’re purchasing a house and it’s in escrow. the lender is charging $500.00 for the house appraisal, why is it so much. can we get it cheaper than that. also do they tell you what is wrong with the house if in case it does have plumbing or electrical problem. what other problems or questions should we ask before closing the deal. thanks!

In August of 2006 Andrew Doe(and family) a child with cerebral palsy and severe allergies,had poor living condition that involved mold,silverfish all through out the home,Doe family then gave the property owner a 30 days notice after failed inspection with the section 8/ Metropolitian Housing Authority.
The Doe family urgently looked for better housing and once a home was found it wasn’t rent reasonable,so the Doe family found other housing but the owner would have to lower the rent from $650 to $579 to make it affordable for the Doe family.Owner of Apartment agreed to except the rental amount of $579 on August 30th 2006,The Section 8 program were slow to process the request to inspect housing in the time alloted which was 14 days after the Owner of the apartment excepted the amount of $579,instead Section 8 housing caused the Doe family to use all its SSI income of $603 as rent,for the month of September,and that brought horrible hardships on the family,behind on bills and no food.
