  • Leaking: Any water pooling around the base of the tank or dripping from connections indicates a problem that needs immediate attention. Water Heater Leaks) can cause significant property damage.

Repair or Replace? Making the Right Decision

Deciding whether to repair your existing water heater or invest in a new one can be tough. Here are factors to consider:

  • Age: Standard tank water heaters typically last 10-15 years. If your unit is approaching or exceeds this age and needs a significant repair, replacement is often the more economical long-term choice. Tankless units can last 20+ years.
  • Repair Cost: If the repair cost is close to or exceeds half the cost of a new unit, replacement is usually recommended.
  • Frequency of Repairs: Needing frequent repairs is a sign your water heater is nearing the end of its lifespan.
  • Efficiency: Older water heaters are far less energy-efficient than modern units. Replacing an old unit can lead to significant savings on your energy bills over time. Consider upgrading to a tankless water heater for potentially greater efficiency and endless hot water.

Our technicians can provide an honest assessment of your current water heater's condition and help you weigh the pros and cons of repair versus replacement based on your specific situation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. How much does it cost to repair or replace a water heater?
A. The cost varies greatly depending on the issue, the type of water heater, its age, and whether it's a repair or full replacement. We provide detailed estimates after diagnosing the problem.

Q. Why is my water heater leaking?
A. Water Heater Leaks can stem from various sources, including a corroded tank (requiring replacement), a faulty temperature and pressure relief valve, loose pipe connections, or issues with the drain valve.

Q. Why is my water heater making strange noises?
A.
Noises like rumbling, popping, or banging are often caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. As the heating element or burner heats the water, it boils the water trapped in the sediment, causing the noise.

Q. How long do water heaters typically last?
A. Traditional tank water heaters typically last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. Tankless water heaters often have a lifespan of 20 years or more.

Q. Is it better to repair or replace my water heater?
A. This depends on the age of the unit, the cost of the repair, and the frequency of problems. If the unit is old or repairs are frequent or expensive, replacement is usually the more cost-effective long-term solution.

Q. What causes water heater failure?
A.
Common causes include age, sediment buildup, corrosion (internal rust), faulty components (thermostat, heating element), and improper installation or maintenance.

Q. Can a water heater explode?
A.
While rare, a water heater can explode if the temperature and pressure relief valve fails and internal pressure builds excessively. This is why regular maintenance and ensuring the T&P valve is working correctly are crucial safety measures.

Crew arrived early--that's a good thing. They were courteous and got to work quickly. They were considerate by wiping their shoes entering & returning.

A friend recommended Midwest Mechanical. Long story short, the design of the vent from my half bath caused the drain pipe to freeze. Not only were these guys fast in getting here, they even replaced boxes they had to move to get to the plumbing. There's not a lot of cleanup for Mr to do either. Thanks, MM!
