I do not reccomend insulation blankets on a water heater because if they are improperly installed they can be a fire threat. and you shouldn't need it if it is a new water heater. assure the heater is wired correctly and is receiving the correct voltage.

Lay out your money on wrapping your water pipes, most likely the out side of your water heater is not hot now, so you will not be loosing heat there.
My guess you are using lots of hot water. Try to cut down your consumption.

How much should it cost to install a furnace and hot water heater?

It's a conversion from oil to gas. The old oil-based units are being replaced. The gas plan is already in place. The air ducts are already in place. The only thing changed will be the venting. As contrasted with of the chimney flue, the new furnace
Ours is costing us $3800 for the furnace [96% unwasteful "Trane" brand] and installation, and an additional $800 if we want a new gas water heater. The furnace is sized for a three bedroom family, approx 2200 sq feet.
