Repair vs. Replacement: What’s the Right Move?
We always aim to repair your water heater when it’s cost-effective and safe to do so. If the unit is too old or severely damaged, replacement may be the smarter option.
| Problem | Recommended Solution |
|---|---|
| Broken thermostat or heating element | Repair |
| Minor sediment buildup | Flush and maintenance |
| Tank leaks or rust | Replace |
| System over 10–12 years old | Replace |
| Consistently high energy bills | Upgrade to a more efficient model |
We’ll explain all your options, from quick repairs to new installations, and help you choose a solution that fits your needs and budget.
