Thanks to Debra Taylor I contacted Water Heaters Only and have a new water heater ~ The next concern is the good ol' galvanized pipes in our 1200 square foot, 61 year old house. We've known for a while that they need to be replaced? Have you had your galvanized pipes replace recently? I was told it would be about $10,000 ~ Sound right?? Any recommendations for a company to do the work?
