Is $2k the ballpark price now for a professionally installed gas water heater?

I think this post is part group therapy to process new information. 😭 From what I gather during morning coffee research, should I expect to pay approximately $2,000 for a new 40 gallon gas water heater that is professionally installed? My current one is 12 years old (a Bradford White) that a plumber installed. I realize prices vary; just seeking confirmation that in 2025 that’s the new reality. Gulp. 😳
