Need a plumber for a water heater install???

[Stangin4Lyfe]

A relative's gas water heater went out and we need someone to install a water heater in the home.
Does anyone have any GOOD references for me?
Does a plumber have to do this?
Any recommendations on the difference in water heaters(I'm clueless!)?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Yes it is easy.
All you really need is some copper line ($10) cutting tool ($5) a torch kit. ($10). The water lines should be already threaded. Remember!! If you want to go code get a drip pan ($20). Coated gas line ($15). If you hire a plumber, my city charges $150 for a water heater replacement PERMIT. So get ready to tack that on to the price. Or F**K them. Do it yourself. Hardest part is picking it up.

We found a guy and paid him $200 to do it.
