I spent roughly a tenth of that on new water heaters; two half height to fit in the crawlspace. Electric, not gas.

Is labour just that much more expensive in the USA?

Water heaters are about $500 per, and installation would be similar - the furnace would be the majority of the expense.

Labor is about $300 per hour in Seattle area. For example few years ago window was $250 and installation $300 and less than one hour. Complete brake job, calipers, rotors and pads is $1200+tax. I bought parts for $350 and installed myself in 3 hours.
