Age is usually the biggest factor. Most traditional water heaters last 8-12 years, while tankless units can go 15-20 years with proper maintenance. If your unit is approaching these ages and having frequent problems, replacement often makes more financial sense than repeated repairs. However, newer units with single issues like a bad heating element or thermostat are usually worth repairing. We’ll give you an honest assessment based on your specific situation, including repair costs versus replacement benefits.
In our area, we see a lot of sediment buildup due to mineral content in the local water supply. This causes heating elements to fail prematurely and reduces efficiency. Thermostat problems are also common, especially during winter months when units work harder. For tankless systems, we often deal with scale buildup that affects performance. Regular maintenance can prevent many of these issues, but when they do occur, most are repairable if caught early enough.
Most common repairs like replacing heating elements, thermostats, or pressure relief valves take 1-2 hours. More complex issues with tankless units or gas connections might take 3-4 hours. We carry the most common parts on our trucks, so we can usually complete repairs in one visit. If we need to order a specific part, we’ll let you know upfront and work around your schedule for the follow-up appointment.
Tankless systems work well for many homes, especially if you’re dealing with space constraints or want better energy efficiency. They provide hot water on demand and last longer than traditional tanks. However, they require higher upfront investment and may need electrical upgrades depending on your home’s current setup. For larger families with high simultaneous hot water usage, a traditional tank might actually be more practical. We’ll evaluate your specific usage patterns and home setup to give you realistic expectations.
Turn off the power supply (breaker for electric units, gas valve for gas units) and shut off the water supply to the unit. Small leaks from fittings or the pressure relief valve might be repairable, but leaks from the tank itself usually mean replacement is necessary. Don’t ignore even small leaks because they typically get worse and can cause water damage to your home. Call us right away so we can assess the situation and prevent further damage while determining the best solution.
Yes, we handle emergency water heater calls because we understand that losing hot water can’t wait for regular business hours. We prioritize emergency calls and stock common repair parts to resolve most issues quickly. Emergency service is available for situations like complete loss of hot water, gas leaks, or significant water leaks that could damage your property. We’ll give you an estimated arrival time when you call and keep you updated if anything changes.
