Water heater installation cost by job.
Installed-labor pricing for Beverly Hills, adjusted for local rates. Relocations and gas-line upgrades add to the base.
In Beverly Hills, where the median home was built in 1958, many homes need water heater replacement. A standard tank installation typically runs $800–$1,800, while tankless units cost $1,800–$4,600 or more, plus $300–$1,000 for a new gas line. California's seismic strapping requirement and local permits add to the job. Given the mild Mediterranean climate and moderate winter inlet water, a heat-pump water heater is a strong fit, and the federal 25C tax credit (30%, up to $2,000) applies here.
