U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 5-Year Estimates · public county data, not a national estimate
Water heater replacement (tank): $1,200–$2,800 (typical ~$1,900)
Local permit records we track for Lee County lean toward the "low-mid" cost tier for plumbing work nearby.
Curated Florida 2026 estimate — installed cost for a typical FL single-family home, not a bid.
Florida licenses this trade at the STATE level (DBPR / CILB (CFC)). Hiring unlicensed for this work is illegal for the contractor — and risky for you: no permit rights, no insurance backing, no recourse.
Work like this often requires a county permit — a legitimate pro pulls it, not you.
Basis: FL Stat. 489 (DBPR state licensing).
Your request goes to a single license-verified Plumbing pro in your area — you stay anonymous until you tap connect, and we never sell your info.
