It's from like 1992. I'm just paranoid that it's going to bust and flood the house. I was told by the home inspector that it's on its last legs. I figured I'd be proactive and replace before it breaks. It's a relatively inexpensive improvement. I've got one quote at around $1200 for new 40gal Bradford White heater and installation. Is that high or pretty fair?

That seems a little high. The ruud and rheem are exact units and very good. The best on the market is a STATE. They are sold at plumbing contractor stores such as coburns. They are pricey but built to last.

As long as you stay away from box stores brands, you will be ok

Water heater is about $600 for that brand no frills. $600 labor is high. Ask the guy to break it down in labor and material. He could be pricing one with longer warranty or high efficiency.
