Wow, crazy. I installed one myself many, many years ago so the only cost was the heater and some misc bits associated with the install. The installation was really easy.
It looks like prices aren't insane on the heaters themselves, so I'm assuming it's the installation that you got screwed on. Good to know.
I'll probably end up paying someone if we go propane since the existing is electric.
