$100 is a steep price just for a diagnosis IMO. Ended up telling them on the phone I'll think about it and explore other options
No, that did not happen to me. It may be how you asked.

I knew that my hot water tank was due for replacement, and also my furnace was dead (it was red tagged by Fortis) among other repairs and whatnot.

When I called Papa's, I simply explained to them that my furnace was red tagged and needed replacing, and to simply come over to give me a quote. No repairs/nothing. Most contractors should give you a free estimate/quote, but if you ask them to simply look at something for you, they will most likely charge.

I would try calling back to ask again. If they insist it will cost you $95, it's likely they are booked up with a lot of work. Otherwise, call other contracting companies.

My current tank is 184L capacity.....going from that to 60L would be a big change no?
