When is it Time for Water Heater Replacement?
When your water heater just stops working, it’s pretty clear that you need a new one so you can do things like wash your clothes, wash your dishes, and take those long, hot showers you love. However, there are some other situations where our water heater replacement service might be the best choice for you. Here’s what we look at when we decide whether we should recommend water heater replacement.
- Is your water heater old? Most water heaters last about 10 years, though some end up lasting a lot longer than that. We’ll look at the make and model of your water heater, and then let you know how long it should last. If it’s at the end of it’s life, it may not be worth it to repair it. In these cases, we recommend replacement instead.
- How much are repairs? If your current water heater requires repairs, we’ll look at what it will cost to do those versus what it would cost to replace it. If the costs are similar or replacement is cheaper, we’ll let you know and help you find a new water heater that will meet your needs.
- How often does it need work? When you are calling someone to fix your water heater every couple of months, chances are good that it’s time to get a new one. After all, you don’t have the time and energy to call us that often and the cost of repairs can add up fast. If we think we’re seeing you too often about your water heater, we’ll talk to you about all of your options.
- Is it the right type for you? Maybe you’ve heard about tankless water heaters and you’re interested in installing one of these instead of the traditional kind with tanks. We can help you find the perfect tankless heater for your home and get your system set up to work with it. We’ll install the heater, too, so you don’t have to worry about anything.
