Pick the replacement type and the calculator prices it installed: a like-for-like gas tank at about $1,600–2,600, tankless conversions around $3,800–5,800 with venting handled, heat pump units between. Venting, code upgrades and rental-tank returns are separate lines, because that is exactly where surprise costs live. If you rent your current tank, the flag tells you the question to ask before you spend anything.
At $3,800–5,800 installed versus $1,600–2,600 for a tank, tankless costs about double up front. It repays in space, endless hot water and no standby heat loss over a 20-year service life — strongest case if you are staying in the house and your gas line and venting are already close to spec.
Expansion tanks, drain pans, seismic strapping, proper venting clearances — items inspectors now require that were not there when the old tank went in. The $400–900 allowance covers typical cases; a quote that omits them either includes them already or plans to discover them later.
Usually worth pricing. Rental fees of $30–50 a month add up to more than a new owned tank within four to six years, forever. Get the buyout figure, compare it with the installed price here, and check for exit fees before the old unit leaves the building.
