remember to include extended warranty when u buy water heaters ...
Long story short.
I bought the GE 50 dallon water heaters from HomeDepot back dated 2006. GE claimed that it will last 12 years. 2 days ago @ April fool's day, its toasted. According to the GE support ( I called the toll-free number) ... its was only 2 weeks short close to 3 years and cost me $ 1100 water heater was toasted !
I then get back to HomeDepot and asked for help ... God blessed us that we DID included the extended warranty and HomeDepot now give me a brand new same-model shiny water heaters - cost and labors covered by HoemDepot - free ! plus LIFE-TIME-WARRANTY.
I was told regular labor to replace the water heaters around $200+
oh,.. i didn't know homedepot have people to do installations for you too.
I was calling around and getting price quote and it was hard. thanks for ur info
