Venting is often replaced for both the water heater and furnace using a thicker 26ga metal, running 4" to the water heater, and adding a double wall wye to the flue. The additional venting work usually adds anywhere from $45-$200. For specific pricing on this portion you may email a picture of the venting to kcwaterheater@gmail.com. 

Install times are 9:00am, or in the afternoon around 1:00pm. Installations usually take around 3 hours.

You may book an appointment through email at kcwaterheater@gmail.com or you can call the answering service at (913) 962-7000 and provide your address and request for a call back.

*6yr full labor warranty does not apply when a water softener has been installed as they significantly reduce water heater lifespan. Unit must be accessible and located in the basement. Additional Permit fees may apply in certain areas. 

Preferred Payment method is by Check, add 3% for Credit Card.

*Many older homes will have atmospheric water heaters venting into a Masonry Chimney which can change the type of water heater we would install. In most cases a Flue Liner must be installed prior to installing a new water heater. Homes built prior to 1970 may not be good candidates for an atmospheric tank, other options could be electric tank or gas tankless systems. In either case there are additional costs to be considered when working in older homes.
