How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?

Age is the biggest factor—most traditional water heaters last 8-12 years, while tankless units can go 15-20 years with proper maintenance. If your unit is near the end of its expected lifespan and needs expensive repairs, replacement usually makes more sense. However, if it’s relatively new and the repair cost is reasonable, fixing it is typically the better choice. We’ll give you an honest assessment of both options with upfront costs so you can make the right choice.
The most common culprits are failed heating elements, faulty thermostats, or tripped circuit breakers on electric units. Gas water heaters often have pilot light issues, gas valve problems, or venting blockages. Sediment buildup from hard water can also cause overheating and component failure. In Camanche North Shore’s seasonal properties, units that sit unused for months sometimes develop problems from stagnant water or temperature fluctuations. Most of these issues are repairable if caught early, which is why quick diagnosis matters.
Most common repairs, like replacing heating elements, thermostats, or gas valves, take 1-3 hours once we have the right parts. Simple fixes like relighting pilot lights or resetting breakers can be done in minutes. More complex issues involving multiple components or accessibility problems might take longer. We always give you a time estimate upfront along with the repair cost. If we need to order special parts, we’ll let you know immediately and work with you on temporary solutions while we wait for delivery.
Yes, we repair and service both traditional tank and tankless water heater systems. Tankless units have different components and require specialized knowledge to diagnose and repair properly. Common tankless issues include mineral buildup, ignition problems, and flow sensor malfunctions. These systems need regular descaling in areas with hard water, which we can handle as part of routine maintenance. Whether you have a gas or electric tankless unit, we have the tools and expertise to keep it running efficiently.
Turn off the power (circuit breaker for electric units) or gas supply immediately, then shut off the water supply to the unit. While minor leaks from fittings or the temperature relief valve may require simple repairs, leaks from the tank itself typically necessitate replacement. Don’t ignore even small leaks—they typically get worse and can cause water damage to your home. Take photos of where the water is coming from if possible, then call us for emergency service. We’ll assess whether it’s a repairable issue or if you need a new unit.
Repair costs vary depending on what’s wrong and which parts need replacement. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement might run $150-300, while heating element replacement typically costs $200-400. More complex repairs involving gas valves or control boards can be $300-600. We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. If the repair cost approaches 50% of a new water heater’s price and your unit is over 8 years old, we’ll discuss replacement options to help you make the most cost-effective decision.
