Sounds like you paid a premium for an emergency replacement, the plumber likely dropped everything to address your busted water heater. You are also not factoring in any stock besides the water heater. Youre probably talking an additional $300-$500 in piping, valves, a new PVC vent, possibly a new wall to hang it on.

HD buys the rinnai label and slaps it on junk. Never get crucial home infrastructure from HD.

Are you hiring an actual plumbing company who is sending out one of their plumbers, or hiring a small plumber directly?

Plumber gave them the exact labor charge of $2500. You can assume the other number includes all materials

Exactly. We had a tankless water heater replaced last year, they had to put up an entirely new pipe wall, it looked like a lot of new hardware.
