Seems fair for a larger company that has insurance, training, benefits, tools etc.
seems expensive for a small chuck in a truck

Where's the water coming from above the tank?

You're not just paying for the two hours of labour. Overhead can sink a company.

 

What was the 'four point inspection' being generated?

Why not just replace the pressure relief valve and think about the water heater under less time constrained conditions?

In Pasco at least - you do need a plumbing permit to replace the water heater legally. So long as you live in the house in question you can do the work yourself so far as I know. A rental house is treated differently and in that case a licensed professional is required to do the work. I have a great plumber (the one I use in Pasco and Pinellas) if you need one

I'm a professional plumber since 2011 , I can provide some insights regarding your hot water heater replacement. While the requirement for a licensed plumber may vary depending on local regulations, it's generally advisable to hire one for safety and compliance reasons. Regarding the cost, it's recommended to obtain multiple quotes to ensure a fair price. While DIY installation is an option, it's crucial to consider warranty coverage and potential risks. Consulting with a professional plumber will ensure proper installation and peace of mind.

 

I used some heat shrink and added a layer of tape over the crimp connectors where the wire is crimped to try and mitigate the insulation melting issue.

Debatable.

 

And do the licensed plumbers have a licensed electrician come to the job site to do the electrical wiring for the water heater replacement?
