What moves the price.
Job type
Service calls and small repairs sit at the bottom; water-heater replacements in the middle; repipes and sewer-line work at the top.
Tank vs. tankless
A tankless conversion costs more up front than a like-for-like tank swap but lasts longer and frees the space.
Pipe material & access
Aging cast-iron drains or polybutylene supply lines push a repair conversation toward a repipe; slab access and wall opening/repair drive labor.
The Palm Bay factor.
Permits & code
Brevard County and its cities (Melbourne, Palm Bay, Titusville) issue permits, with wind-borne-debris rules along the barrier islands and the Indian River lagoon shoreline.
