Frequently asked questions
How many water heater replacement quotes should I get in Florida?+
Three is the minimum. Two leaves you with no point of triangulation, and four pushes contractors to drop out because they sense a long bid list. Make sure the three are comparing the same scope on the same materials.
What should a written water heater replacement quote include?+
Itemized labor and material, brand and model of equipment or materials, scope of removal and disposal, permit handling, warranty terms (labor and manufacturer separately), payment schedule, and start/completion window. Anything else is a sales letter, not a quote.
Is a lower quote a red flag?+
Often, yes. A bid that's 20%+ below the others is usually missing scope: leaving out permits, skipping disposal, using lower-grade materials, or routing the work through a non-licensed sub. Ask the contractor to walk you through why their number is lower.
Should I pay a deposit?+
A 10 to 30 percent deposit is standard for material-heavy trades. Avoid contractors asking for 50%+ up front. Pay the balance only after the final inspection passes, not after the install crew leaves the site.
