I have a gas heater I bought last year and having such a bitch of a time finding someone to install it. People never show up or call back etc. Finally had someone come out to look at it. Relatively straight forward.
This guy wants me to buy the brackets, all thread, gas pipe and electrical stuff. He will hang it, vent it through the roof and he will 'help' me with electrical. (his words as he wants me to do most of it)
The gas pipe is in the garage about 12' away (straight shot along the wall) and the sub panel is another straight shot of about 5' then 90* down into the box. Or I can remove my existing 220v heater which has bx behind the wall and put a 1900 box and wire it that which is right next to where the new heater will go.
Had a random guy on FB quote me $150 but no idea who he is so I'm passing.
A friend does HVAC for a living but said I had to worry about a roof leak. So passing on him because if you do this for a living you should be comfortable installing a piece of flashing and sealant. And I have a new roof so rather have someone whos comfortable do the install.
Current guy quoted between $450-$550 with me buying the above supplies (I already have the heater and double wall pipe), he needs to get the flashing cap for the pipe.
I did want a fresh air inlet installed but not sure this heater has that option
Does that seem priced high?
