But I’d also do the work myself, as it’s not too difficult. Hardest part about a water heater is removing the anode, which takes two grown men and a cheater bar about three feet long. It’s a weird size too, 1 1/4 IIRC, you may be able to borrow the socket from a car parts place for a once a decade thing...at my old place in NC I had to replace the anode every three years. Also used anti seize so I could do it alone after that.
My Dad was an engineer and did all that himself. I was the hold it, carry it guy for a pretty tough man. I know my way around the stuff, but do lack the perceptual motor skills, and general performance ability. I am the guy who could write a report about installing the heater. I am the guy that gets advice and then hires a competent professional.
Great help here.
