Here in Los Angeles, I believe it is determined by code based upon the
number of bathrooms, bedrooms, etc., in the house. Our 4 bed/4 bath house
has a 75 gallon gas water heater, no jacuzzi tub.

How did you come up with that size?=C2=A0 From what I have read, gas

We need to replace an aging electric water heater before it fails. We are
switching to gas. Does close to $3000 for a 75 gallon and labor
(including the venting) sound right to you all? We live in southern WI.
