Determining whether to repair or replace your water heater depends on several factors.
Here are some considerations:
- Age. If your water heater is 10-15 years old, or older, it may be more cost-effective to replace it.
- Cost of Repairs. If the cost of repairs is 50% of the cost of a new water heater, it is often more practical to replace the unit.
- Energy Efficiency. Older water heaters may be less energy-efficient compared to newer models. By replacing your water heater with a more efficient unit, you can enjoy long-term energy savings.
- Frequency of Repairs. Is your water heater requiring frequent repairs? It may be a sign that it's reaching the end of its lifespan and a replacement is a better option. Repair costs could add up over time.
- Warranty. Consider the warranty on your current water heater. If it is still under warranty, repairs may be covered, which could influence your decision.

5 Benefits of Replacing Your Water Heater
If your older water heater is beyond repair, you can rest assured we can install a new one for you.
A new water heater comes with several benefits - here are six you can consider:
- Improved Efficiency. Newer water heaters are more energy-efficient, which can result in lower energy bills. They are better insulated and have advanced heating elements, allowing them to heat water more efficiently.
- Reliable Performance. Over time, older water heaters may show signs of failure, such as slower heating times or inconsistent water temperatures. By replacing your water heater, you can enjoy reliable and consistent hot water throughout your home.
- Increased Lifespan. Water heaters have a limited lifespan, typically around 10-15 years. If your current water heater is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacing it can help avoid unexpected breakdowns. Would you love peace of mind waking up in the morning?
- Enhanced Safety. Older water heaters may pose safety risks, such as the potential for leaks or faulty gas connections. Upgrading to a new water heater ensures that you have the latest safety features and technology in place.
