01Definition

What is included in the installed price?

The unit and the installation. On a tank that means a Bradford White unit, set, connected, strapped and vented to code. On a tankless it means a Navien, Noritz or Rinnai unit with the gas, venting and condensate work. Done-Rite's 1 year minimum labor warranty applies; manufacturer warranty handling varies by manufacturer.

What moves the number inside the range?

Tank size and model, the condition of the existing gas, water and vent connections, and how much has to change to bring the installation to code. The tank-to-tankless step is roughly $1,700 to $2,800. A required permit adds a fee that varies by city.

02Which fits

How do the offers apply?

$100 off any replacement applies when the material is supplied by Done-Rite. 10% off a repair or replacement is capped at $200. Whether those two combine has not been published, so plan on one offer per job and ask which is better for yours.

What about financing?

Enerbank, GE and Wisetack, with terms up to 10 years. No monthly payment, rate or term-specific example is published until the lenders' disclosures are on the site; ask the office.
