Water heater cost: There are a lot of things to consider when buying a water heater like the costs depending on the model selected, usually, storage water heaters are more expensive compared to instant water heaters, and large capacity heaters will cost more than low capacity heaters. 

Plumbing labor cost:  A factor that needs to be considered in plumbing labor costs depends on the experience of the plumber, the number of staff, and the time required for installation. Typically the plumber will charge a higher rate for the first hour since it also includes the travel cost and the rate will be lower for the next hour. That is why you should also need to assess if you really need to replace your water heater.

Job supplies: There might be other supplies required for the water heater installation, like electric cables for wiring, pipes, elbows, cable ties, screws, and other hardware. These are usually procured by the plumber doing the installation work and strictly used for water heater installation to avoid common water heater problems that can occur, and add to the cost of the installation.

Equipment allowance: Rheem water heater installation requires different equipment like drilling machines for fixing the heater on the wall. The plumber doing the installation usually has purchased the equipment initially and the cost of using and transporting the equipment is usually included in the cost of installation cost.

The plumber will usually clean the area after the installation is complete and dispose of the debris generated. This debris cost is also included in the cost of installation. Installing a water heater can be very expensive. That is why you should know the things to consider when buying a Rheem water heater. 

 

Installation/Replacement of Storage Heaters in HDB 

The time and effort required for installing or replacing a storage heater in an HDB depend on whether the storage heater is exposed or concealed above a false ceiling. The process of replacing or installing the storage heater is relatively simple for a heater that is not concealed.  Check with the plumber for the pricing before proceeding to install or replace your storage heater. This is because the price may vary for the following – when you have to do a new installation where piping has to be only installed or replaced of the same size or when the heater is replaced by a larger capacity heater as the piping has to be changed.

 

Installation/Replacement of Storage Heaters Above False Ceiling 

For installation of storage heaters of lower capacity which are concealed above a false ceiling, an access panel is required of size 300 mm X 300 mm, and this will add to the cost of installation – it is recommended to check with the plumber for their pricing as it varies for a basic installation or replacement as opposed to if there are any piping to be replaced.

 

Installation/Replacement of Big Capacity Storage Heaters Above False Ceiling

High-capacity storage water heaters are used in bathrooms with a bathtub and have a capacity of 80 liters or more. The process of installation or replacement above a false ceiling is far more complicated since the heaters are larger in size. In some cases where there is limited space available, a site analysis will first be required.
