FYI most plumbing supply houses have a tank boneyard easily accessible, if you

do replace it yourself just take the old one to the plumbing house and drive in like you know what you’re doing. Kick it off the back of the truck and drive away. They offer this service for all the plumbers and probably sell the bad ones to a scrap hauler.

Beats the pants off of paying to dump it.

The company did, but installation is only covered up to a year. - Canyon hills plumbing

They are willing to replace the tank but not the labor since it’s been longer than a year.

Will they get you the heater, and you could do the install yourself?

That’s the million dollar question

Is it not dielectrically isolated? Could result in quick corrosion failure.

I’m leaning that way and may see if they just drop off the new tank and I dispose of the old tank myself

They will probably tell you the new one is only under warranty if they install it. If it were to go out you could buy

Okay but what good did the warranty do you this time?

I am not a plumber but I have done a lot of plumbing and I think you are being scammed. You would be paying not just

This. It’s nearly an instant replacement for them. That they are charging you $1,300 to do this means they are 100%

How much did you pay for the water heater replacement in the first place?

2100 for everything

That's a crappy warranty, but a rock bottom price in the first place

If the water heater is in an accessible place it's a 1-2 hour job for someone
