Install New Gas Water Heater Tank

Once again Button’s has done a stellar job in my home. They previously fixed a furnace/AC job that was totally blotched by another company. Mike (who worked on my furnace) and Bill did a great job on my water heater install, protected my carpeted stairs with drop cloths and cleaned up afterwards. They were in and out in about two hours. Button are reliable, trustworthy and genuinely care about their customers and their homes.

I was considering have one of the big box stores handle the job, it would have cost me less, but when I started to check out the products I found problems. Despite the national brand name appliance name on the box, they were actually manufactured by the same company and sold under two different names (one for each store) Anyways the water heaters had serious problems with the parts that keep the pilot light lit. The manufacturer was replacing the parts in and outside of the warranty but it seemed the homeowners were responsible for the labour which is quite involved. I don’t need those sort of aggravations, the last tank was there for 23 years and didn’t cost me a dime in service. I checked out the manufacturer of the tank that Button’s was putting in, no issues. I also checked with the husband of a co-worker, a licenced gas fitter who only does commercial work. He told me that Button’s price was reasonable and the tank was reliable. So it may have cost me a couple of hundred more up front, but I saved myself money and aggravation down the road.

Approximate cost of services:
$1,000.00
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Always do the research. There's not much that a licenced gas fitter can do to screw up a simple water heater replacement especially if it is the same type and size, however find out about the product they are installing. Changes in technology to make the gas water heaters safer (in this case) has also proven to be a problem for the tanks sold by these two US based big box reno stores. As well make sure your contractor has quick access to parts for the product they are selling you. In Button
