Ranges are typical installed prices for Austin area homes. Your exact price depends on home size, what's in your water, and where the main line comes in, and you get it in writing after the free test. Ask the installer whether plumbing changes, permits where needed, electrical work, tax, and haul away of old equipment are included.
