Katy Property Owners- Water Heater: Repair or New Installation?
A water heater that fails to provide hot water does not necessarily mean that it is time to replace it, because in most cases such water heaters can still be repaired.
One of the causes why water heaters fail is because of sediment build-up. Here, the minerals found in water like lime, calcium, and magnesium are deposited along the sides and the bottom of the tank. These mineral deposits somehow insulates the tank and hinders proper heating. In such cases, filtering and flushing out the tank will return the water heater’s capacity to heat water back to normal.
However, if despite taking such actions the water heater still does not deliver hot water, a replacement might be in order. Aside from being beyond repair, another reason why you should consider replacing your water heater is if it is more than a decade old, since most standard water heaters usually have a lifespan of about eight to ten years only. In addition, you may want replace your standard water heater with a tankless water heater if you are looking to slash some dollars of your electricity bill.
