Well. I just did it. Three trips to the hardware store and $600 dollars later, it's running smoothly. As a first time homeowner who was quoted $2100, this video was a life saver. Thank you. Truly, thank you.

I was just quoted $3600 for a job ($2300 for the hearer and $1200 for service). They said it would be three days till they could schedule. I got a heater from Home Depot for $710 and got the job done in one day. Thanks buddy.

Thanks Loads from a grateful Mom- I just installed a 50 gallon gas water heater in my basement! Works Great! I included my daughter in the project because it’s very empowering to be self-sufficient and anyone can learn if they pay attention!

I was just quoted $1, 700 for a 40 gallon water heater and install. I know the water heater that they install costs them about $600, leaving them a tidy sum for installation. I think I'll install myself. Thanks for the video.

I salute you for your service.
Water Heater went out last night.
Received quotes this morning ranging from $1500-$3000 if others provided parts, install and waste removal of old tank.
Another quoted $450 for labor if I provided parts.
Found this video, decided I was YouTube certified by the end of it, bought a heater for 750$ and installed it myself.
Took about 4 hours, no gas leaks and 1 happy family.
Thank you for this simple and easy to follow video.

This has got to be one of the best and straight forward instructions on YouTube.

This video saved me $2, 000. I was quoted $3, 000 to replace my water heater and was able to install a new 50 gallon tank for under $1, 000 all in. Thanks for the tricks and tips!

Single mom of three and this video just saved me so much money! Local hardware store quoted me $2300 and a local hvac guy quoted me $1200. I replaced my own water heater and did it for less than $600 thanks to this video.

You saved me 💰💰 My water heater went out just 2 years after my plumber installed it. After fighting with the manufacturer and Home Depot I spent out of pocket $370 for a new water heater. Watched your video and it was super easy. I’m proud to say I am a Certified YouTube Mechanic lol. Thanks for the guidance and I’m tipping my cold beverage to you buddy. Thanks again.

Many thanks! 40 yr old single mom here (lost my mom at 12 and dad at 16 so I know nothing about this stuff). I now feel empowered to replace my leaking water heater. Wish me luck! 🙏 (Been in my home 10 years and I think the water heater is about 12 years old. We also have super hard water).

I love how short and to the point this video was. Well done!

[thepretzelball]

Me and my neighbor knocked this out in 4 hours. A few hiccups but no real issues!! I’m taking a hot shower after being without it for a week!!

[JenniferSawyers]

I know this video is old, but it just saved me $2000. Thank you.

[THECORNDOGKING]

Just got quoted 2500 for install of new water heater that I already purchased for 600 bucks. These companies are crazy. Thanks for the video. The order of steps especially helps, most of this I knew or intuited but your thorough directions and order of operations are big for success on the first try.

Thank you sir!

[luperz]

Watched your video about 1pm. Finished install by 5pm. Thanks for the video. Just saved $1100-$1600.

[soonerlife]

I don’t know if you still check the comments on this video, but I wanted to thank you for making it. My tank went out over night and because you made this video I was able to change mine alone. Saved me $2500. So again thank you.

[frankj]

Fantastic video covering all steps. I will start with step 10. Thanks!

I just started watching your channel and I’m so impressed! I’m a big DIY guy myself, and I have a ton of tools. I’ve been taking YouTube University classes to improve my skills, and you’ve made this install super easy to follow. I did everything exactly as you said, and now I have hot water again! I’m a married dad with two kids, so I can’t thank you enough. I even consulted my main plumber, but they left me high and dry (pun intended) and quoted me $2700 to replace my 40-gallon natural gas water heater. You’re a lifesaver! My project cost me $581 at Home Depot. 😎
