Should You Repair Your Water Heater or Replace It
Depending on your unit's age and how many repairs it's already needed, replacing it can cost less than fixing it again. A repair makes sense under six or seven years old. Past the ten-year mark, a second repair rarely buys more than another year or two.
A few factors point toward replacement instead of another repair:
- The unit is past ten years old
- You've already paid for one repair this year
- Your household has outgrown the tank's capacity
- The repair cost approaches half the price of a new unit
Either way, you'll get a flat rate before we touch the unit, whether the job is a repair or a full replacement.
Don’t Miss Out on These Savings!
Choosing Between a Tank and a Tankless Water Heater
Once replacement is the right call, the next decision is tank or tankless. Each solves the problem differently, and the right choice depends on how much hot water your household uses.
The two systems compare as follows:
- Tank water heaters – Store a set amount of hot water and typically last 8 to 12 years. They cost less upfront and work well for households with predictable, moderate hot water use.
- Tankless water heaters – Heat water on demand instead of storing it, and they typically last more than 20 years. They cost more to install but use less energy and rarely run out of hot water.
We install tank and tankless systems and can tell you which one fits your household, your budget, and your home's existing setup, not which one we'd rather sell.
Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heaters
Cost, lifespan, and whether a repair still makes sense come up more than anything else on water heater calls. The following are the answers we most often give.
What Water Heater Should I Buy?
The right water heater depends on your household's hot water use, not just the lowest upfront price. A tank works well for predictable, moderate use, while a tankless unit costs more to install but uses less energy and rarely runs out of hot water for larger households.
What Is the Life Expectancy of a Water Heater?
Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years, while tankless units often last 20 years or more. Water quality, usage, and how well the unit has been maintained all affect where yours falls in that range.
How Much Should a Water Heater Cost?
Cost depends on the unit's size, whether it's a tank or tankless system, and what your home's existing gas or electrical setup requires during installation. We quote a flat rate once a technician has reviewed your setup.
What Are Signs My Water Heater Is Failing?
Lukewarm water, rumbling sounds from the tank, water pooling at its base, and discolored water are the most common signs. If you're noticing more than one of these at once, the unit is usually closer to failing than the symptoms alone suggest.
