Do You Need to Repair or Replace Your Unit?

When your water heater stops functioning, you either repair or replace it. How can you tell whether you need to repair or get a new unit? That depends on a few factors, including the reason why the system is faulty in the first place. There are several reasons why your heater is not working, like:

• Sediment buildup
• Pilot light failure

• Faulty electrical hook-up

A traditional water tank typically lasts 10-12 years, depending on unit placement, maintenance frequency, and installation quality. When to replace it depends boldly on the issues you're facing.

Sue Gilliam:

Brent and Lucas were extremely friendly. My appointment was from 8 am to 10 am. They were here shortly after 8 am. They finished replacing my leaking and old hot water heater by 1022am. They cleaned up behind themselves I am a return customer for Mr. Rooter and will think of them whenever I need any other plumbing repairs. GREAT JOB.

Safire Wolfie:

I recently had a problem with my hot water, and Brent and Lucas assisted me. They fixed it on sight and informed me of the problem. They were very helpful. These guys are the best employees ever. They were incredibly nice and informative. Thank you so much for being so kind and helpful.

Tyler York:

Mr. Rooter quickly helped us out of a bind: our tank water heater sprung a rusted-out leak in the bottom, AND the shut-off valve wasn’t working. Water kept pouring onto the concrete floor in the basement. 15 minutes after our call to Mr. Rooter, Brent and Dallas worked on the problem at our house. They were done within an hour and a half to two hours, and I had a new water heater that I likely won’t have to worry about again anytime soon.

I appreciate the quick action and Brent and Dallas going the extra mile by advising on best care and accident prevention—thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Water Heater Repairs or Replacement

Q. How Much Will a Typical Repair or Replacement Cost Me?

1. Water heater installation rates vary depending on where you're located, the value of parts, the severity of the issue, and labor costs for expert repairs. Modest unit repairs, such as a defective thermostat or a faulty pressure relief valve, are usually inexpensive and can cost a couple hundred dollars. More extensive repairs, such as heating element replacement or gas valve, often cost more. Major repairs, such as leaking tanks or defective heat exchangers, can cost $1500 or more.

Q. What various types of units are available?

1. Water heaters can be classified into different models based on the power source. That is, if they function using electricity or gas. On functionality, only two main categories of units are available in the market today: standard tank units and tankless on-demand water heaters. The main difference is that the heating element reheats the water in the tank whenever the former is switched on. On the other hand, the latter heats the water as it flows through your system.

Q. Which Tools and Parts Are Used To Repair a System?

1. While an adjusting wrench opens and adjusts connections to water supply pipes and appliances, a screwdriver detaches and tightens bolts on the water heater panels and elements. You will also need a pipe wrench to help loosen and tighten threaded fittings and pipes and a voltmeter for electrical troubleshooting.
