I have gotten 3 quotes for water heater install for a tank unit in SoCal. They were all ranging from 4k to 6k for a 40gallon unit. Is that normal?

I understand this is a commission job as all these expenses add up. The costs include: 15-30% for tech, cost of unit, delivery, technical exerience, and service/install. Am I missing anything else?

I understand this is usually a 2 person job and they have tools normal people dont which may add extra expenses but how come I cant find anyone who is able to do like 1k for service and I buy the tank and they only take care of service but like 3k in all not including unit, does that make sense?
