When To Repair vs. Replace a Water Heater

Not sure whether your water heater needs a minor repair or a replacement? You’ll likely need to consider replacing your water heater if it’s:

• Over 10 years old if it’s a tank unit
• Over 15 years old if it’s a tankless unit
• Requires frequent repairs
• Requires costly repairs

If your water heater is only a few years old and doesn’t have recurring or major issues, you can typically repair it.

Water Heater Installation & Replacement

If you need a new water heater, we’ll walk you through the process to ensure a seamless installation from start to finish. Our team will:

1. Remove your old water heater: We’ll shut off the water and power to your system and disconnect the lines.
2. Install additional wiring or water lines: This is typically only necessary if you’re upgrading or moving your water heater.
3. Place and hook up your new water heater: We’ll connect your new water heater where your old one stood or install it in a different area of the house.
4. Test the water heater: Once connections are secured, we’ll turn the circuit and your water supply back on and make sure your water heats up properly.

Water Heater Maintenance

Just like everything else in your home, your water heater needs routine maintenance. Water heater maintenance typically includes:

• Flushing sediment buildup
• Checking the anode rod
• Adjusting the temperature
• Checking the pressure relief valve
• Checking for leaks
• And more

You should schedule water heater tune-ups annually to ensure you have reliable hot water.
