Common Water Heater Problems We Fix
Should You Repair or Replace?
Most issues on a water heater under 8–10 years old are worth repairing. If your unit is older, has been repaired multiple times, or the cost of repair is close to the cost of a new unit, replacement is usually the better value. We’ll give you an honest recommendation either way — see our water heater replacement page for details on new installations.
