new water heater

[phpanda.livejournal.com]

Our 6 year old water heater IS apparently really a 6 yr model as we need to replace.  The first quote was $2100 which is way more than I pexpected.  Has anyone replaced yours lately and do you have a recommendation or can you confirm a ball park price range? It is a 50 gallon short with power vent if that makes sense to you.
Thanks!

I just had a thought, but haven't researched this at all yet. You might check the MassSave site for rebates on efficient equipment.

If you are replacing something, if you consider a more efficient option sometimes they can help encourage that.
