Howdy,
I am handy, but don't want to try installing a new 50 gallon natural gas heater myself. I will do some Googling, but wanted to know what yall have paid for around the BR area for similar labor?
BTW, I am looking at a Rheem Performance Plus 50gal. Opinions?

Ill look into it again, but years ago I decided against it. If I remember correctly, if your house isn't built (I assume plumbing and venting), its not worth it. Also, we are only planning on staying in this house another 5 years or so.

In October I got a 50 gal gas water heater installed in covington area. Quotes were $1100, $1475 and $2600. Tankless quotes were $3400-4500

They make ventless units now.
Following prices are for the material only, not labor:
50gal natural gas are around $500
Tankless units are going for $1000-1300

If it's not in the attic, it's really a simply swap out. Even in the attic, it's not that bad, just cumbersome trying to get the new one in and the old one out.

Just leave the old one in there baw, you'll be put in a few years anyway.

Yep. Pretty damn easy
I wouldn't go tankless if you are moving in the near future
