What’s the price and process for an aquatherm water heater?

[Elliot Cole]

My wife and I have a rental condo in Las Vegas where the water heater is integrated into the central forced air heating system. The water heater started leaking earlier this week and went through the wall and into the carpeting of the adjacent bedroom. We do have a warranty on the condo, and while they’re going to replace the water heater, they’re saying that because it’s this aquatherm system, it’s much more expensive than a standard water heater and we’re going to come out of pocket much more than expected. Anyone have any experience with this? What’s the process and what sort of pricing should we expect?
