Water heater installation

I give thumbs down to Wilkins Mechanical. When they bought the rentals from Keyspan my bills were often Fouled Up. I got dunning notices before I even got the bill sometimes.

When I needed a water heater a few years ago I went to Home Depot and was told WM was their service provider. They tried to say that the new zoning rules meant all I could get was an on-demand direct vent (making a long story less long) run 15 feet to the wall for $4k. I told my neighbor about this and he told me to speak with a plumber who lives down the street. For$1200 I got a conventional heater and since it was the same thing I already had I didn't need a permit.

By all means get a price from them but check and independent plumbers rates.
