In my house. Any ideas regarding how much this is going to cost me?

The water pump and heater are both broken. I need to replace them (and fast) and have no idea how to go about doing so or how much it is going to cost. Just looking for ballpark guesstimates.

I'm going to be honest here and say I have no clue about anything- all I know is that my plumber says they are both broken (it's a relativly large old house, has "hard" water). I plan on visiting Home Depot tomorrow, but this question is mainly preliminary research.

You need to get a second opinion from a knowledgeable friend or family member. When you say water pump , do you mean the well pump or is it a pump connected to the furnace that helps cycle hot water through radiators in the house? Please get a second opinion , maybe a friend or family can recommend someone who can help you.

As a plumbing contractor I would quote you over phone for a 50 gallon electric water heater installed for 675 (State Select is the brand I install) as far asa a water pump a circulating pump (just to circulate hot water around the house installed would be 140 but if it's youw well pump we'd need to know depth and hp of pump to give an estimate otherwise 84 an hour plus material pumps start at 225 here but if you'd rather trust a well driller (truck driver smart enough to dig a hole) go ahead

You said water pump so i am going to assume your on a well. pumps range in price from $400-$1200. depending how deep the well is.Then you have the charge for pulling the pump, scince you have the expensive part done I would replace the rotten old well pipe and pump cable.by the time your done your looking at a bill from $900.00 to $2000.00. sorry.
before you jump into replacing the pump I would contact a well drilling company that also installs pumps.We know about pumps and pressure tanks than ANY stupid plumber.

true. is this hot water heater and pump? rarely do both go bad at once.
A hot water heater is 2-300 and install is maybe 150.
get an HVAC tech for an opinion. don't take one person's word for anything in which they stand to make a profit.
