On sale at HD for a few days. I'm looking for an 80 gallon unfortunately but this seems like a solid price.

My plumber quoted me $500 to replace an existing 50 gallon electric unit. I'm planning to buy this and hope it stays $500. Looks like it's only 3 inches taller and two inches wider.
One possible way to get the "net" cost lower is to research local electric utility company rebates. Mine offers 50% off up to $500 on heat pump water heaters. Must be 40 gallons or more.

Be aware though that HD told me that if I order this and then change my mind before it delivers, I cannot get a refund until the unit hits their store. Although not advertised as such on their website, they consider it a special order item given that HD does not store them in a warehouse and instead the unit ships directly from the manufacturer. Probably not a big problem for me as delivery appears to be a couple weeks out but I'm leery about mfr shipping delays causing me a financial delay.
Then as we further discussed my order, the rep told me that if HD installs the water heater, there would be no sales tax charged on the unit. That saves about $140 and made me reconsider. Just when I was about to give HD the go-ahead to do the installation, the rep re-checked and found that units over 50 gallons cost an additional $99 to install. So instead of saving $65 (500-575+140), it will cost $34 more (500-575+140-99). Decided to use my own guy and save a few bucks.

Where the heck are you guys at? In AZ and I've called half a dozen plumbers for what I thought would be a fairly simple install. $1k minimum for basic install without expansion tank. Although found one that says they usually sell the 80 gal hybrid with install for $2200, but don't have any stock and no idea when they would! Was ready to return this if they did.
