Install went well, although it ended up being more expensive than I expected: About double the cost of the hot water heater if purchased at retailer. Installing a water heater is not extremely difficult, but we needed it done now and done correctly, therefore our call to Fast Water Heater Co. They came recommended by a contractor friend who has done some work for us.
As mentioned, the install was straight forward and fairly fast. There were no surprises as I had done a prior inspection to check for damage caused by the previous water tank leaking. I was pleased Denis (the installer) caught a couple of mistakes made by the last person who installed a water heater in our house. Our home was left clean and the old hot water heater was hauled away. Please note: As of 2010, if you live in Snohomish Co., you will need to have your hot water heater install permitted!!! That little income generator for the County will cost you about $100 bucks.
