How long do water heaters last?

Most hot water heaters last 6 to 13 years. You can help your water heater last by having it inspected once a year.

Should we repair or replace our broken water heater?

It depends! Knowing your water heaters age and repair costs can help determine the answer. Start by assessing the age. Is your hot water heater over 10 years old? If so - it will likely be more cost-effective to have a new one installed. If your water heater is 5 years old or less, repair will likely be a great option. Next, how much will water heater repair cost? If repair costs are over half the cost of a new water heater, it'll be more cost-effective to opt in for a replacement. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Santa Barbara County, we're here for you. We're homeowners like you and understand the stress and worry behind water heater issues. We'll offer you our recommendations and help you make the best choice. Have any other questions about your water heater or need to book a service? Reach out online or give our courteous team a call.

How often should my water heater be inspected?

It’s recommended to have services once a year. Annual water heater services can help remove any buildup and ensure you receive the best possible hot water supply. If you haven’t had maintenance on your water heater in a while, there’s likely a repair overdue causing problems. When was the last time you had a water heater inspection?
