Hot water heater replacement estimate

[Barrett Boone]

I just got a quote to replace my hot water heater for $2,450. Is this a reasonable price. It seems high to me. 
the hot water heater is working fine, but it was made in 1994 and My current tenant is moving so I want to replace it during the transition time so it’s doesn’t become an issue when the new tenant is in

is this a reasonable quote?

That  price is ridiculous. You neglected to mention the size but assuming it's a typical 50 gallon tank, that is less than $800. Figure another $800 for labor and other parts like expansion tank, and you should be done at $1600 or so. Keep shopping......
