Should I Repair or Replace My Water Heater?

Deciding whether to repair or replace your water heater is one of the most common questions to consider when your water heater breaks.

The answer depends on several factors, including the following:

The Age of Your Water Heater

  • Your average water heater has a lifespan between 6 to 13 years. This lifespan can vary depending on how often you use the water heater.
  • If the water heater is on the younger end of the spectrum, not only might it still be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, but also any repair will be less expensive.

Any Existing Manufacturer’s Warranty

  • Most new water heaters come with an automatic manufacturer’s warranty. In some cases, you might even be able to buy an extended warranty that can cover repairs to the unit for several years.

  • If this type of warranty still covers your water heater, it’s likely best, and less expensive, to rely on the manufacturer for repairs to your unit.

    • Some property owners might opt into a home warranty, a type of insurance that covers appliances such as water heaters. Typically, if you have this type of insurance, you will pay a small service fee to the insurance company, and they will send a technician to look over your water heater and determine the best way to repair the model.
    • Home warranty companies will make the most economical choice for them, which usually includes repairing your appliances as much as possible before replacing them.
    • If your water heater can be improved, it will be, and at little cost to you. However, if it can’t be repaired at all, a home warranty company is usually obligated to purchase and install a new one.

    If you have an older water heater that isn’t covered by insurance, you will have to pay out of pocket for any repairs. If the repair cost is equal to or more expensive than buying and installing a new one, we recommend replacing the old model.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Tank Storage Water Heaters

    A tank storage water heater is a tank that stores hot water, typically between 40 and 80 gallons. The water is heated by a gas or electric coil and then circulated throughout the home using a pump.

    Tankless Water Heaters

    A tankless water heater does not store water. Instead, it heats water on demand as it passes through a series of coils. As a result, tankless water heaters are often more energy-efficient than traditional water heaters.

    They also have a longer lifespan and require less maintenance. However, they can be more expensive to install and may not be able to meet the demands of a large household.

    At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Lexington, KY, we offer both tank storage water heater and tankless water heater repair services.
