Need help on enercare rental water heater

Return the tank to them and install your own.

^^^ What he said! Buyout is not even worth it. Even 10-12yrs old tanks they still want around $500 to buy it out.

$25? You’re one of the lucky ones. Most new rentals are $40 or more.

Call and tell them you want to return the tank. Hopefully you only have a 5 year contract.

I bought mine out a little less that a year ago. Every year, on some anniversary date, the buyout gets cheaper.

I could have returned it free of charge or bought it for around $200 (the tank was around 12 years old). I chose to buy it out and figured if it lasts a couple of years, I should at least break even.

Call them to fnd out costs. I suspect buyout for a 7 year tank is going to be substantially higher.

OP, here's the buyout schedule.

This is a buyout for 2018 installs, you need to find out a buyout schedule for when yours was installed.

If the buyout schedule was for only 2018 installs, then the first column wouldn't have the age of the tanks listed.

It would have the age of tanks because this schedule is for 2018 installs buyouts moving forward to give anyone considering a buyout one year to whatever years down the line . So five years from now if I were thinking of buying out my tank and it was installed in 2018, I would be referencing this particular schedule.

You are absolutely correct... I found a 2014 buyout schedule and the pricing is different.
I should have had my morning coffee before posting.
