Mine went out 3 days ago, water running out of garage down driveway. Called a buddy and had it replaced in 2.5 hours including time
to go get new one. It was a gas unit.

If your gas line is direct soldered into the old unit, youa permit. need to call a plumber. If it uses a piece of flex hose, then you can probably handle it if you have the tools and know-how.
Even after you drain it, the old unit will weigh around 100 lbs. Make sure you can handle it, and know how/where you are going to dispose of it. I set mine at the curb. It was gone in a couple of hours. Put mine out on trash day and they took it. Can't do that in some cities like Austin unless you filed for a permit.
