Called Home Depot yesterday. They said that the install would be roughly $450. That price includes installation and removal of the old tank, labour, a permit to redo the gas line, new parts and a pilot relight. So all said and done, I'm looking at roughly $1k for the labour and new tank (which, incidentally, was the cheapest NG unit they carry). Not too bad, I think. I'm sure I can find cheaper labour elsewhere, but I prefer using a "big name" company to do the work, even though they outsource it to a third party. The guy on the phone did also mention that any unit they sell that carry's an Energy Star rating is available for a rebate through Fortis ($200 for tanks, $500 for tankless), provided it's a natural gas unit.
