Hi Tim,

It would be about $1,500 for the water heater and $1,500 for the
installation. Without knowing how long the gas run would be, if there are
obstacles, how long the flue would be, sealing the roof, if there are
obstacles, etc., it does not sound ridiculous for a conversion. For a
replacement, <$2K would be expected.

I live in Los Angeles, though, and things almost certainly are more
expensive here...

best,

doug
