#1 - Renewable Energy > RE General Discussion > Average Cost for Installed SHW Drainback with 80g ?

Hi All:

We have been exploring the idea of replacing our current gas water heater with solar. The other day I had a co come out that was own our utility co's "approved" vendor list in NE Fla. We were quoted over 8K for a 80g drainback system with 2 4x7 collectors. I have been doing significant research and the "high" price people are paying in the area should be around 6K max. Does the quoted price of 8K+ seem overly high to anyone? I know that several co's on the internet sell what appeared to be the same system for around 4.5K so if that is true, is there really that much in the installation?

Thanks for your time and opinions in advance
