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.

I'm pretty sure Home Depot doesn't have installers on staff and hires a sub contractor to do the install so you really aren't necessarily getting a big name company to do the work. That said since it's not your house I would go the easiest route for sure.
