My water heater started leaking but we still get hot water throughout the house, so I went through the Meridian Company and they didn’t even try to see if they could repair it and they quoted me at $3000 not including chimney lining which itself ranges from $2500-$7000 or to use an electrical system at $4700.

My house is incredibly old and the water heater itself is too, but I can’t just up and spend that kind of money. Water heaters are around 450-800 at Home Depot for a decent sized tank, does anyone know if any plumbers who would just replace my existing water heater with one I buy myself?

TLDR; meridian company quoted me thousands. Looking for more budget friendly option.
