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

Age is the biggest factor – most tank water heaters last 8-12 years, while tankless units can go 15-20 years. If your unit is approaching these ages and having frequent problems, replacement usually makes more sense than repeated repairs. Other signs pointing to replacement include rusty water, significant leaks, or if repair costs exceed half the price of a new unit. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement is the better investment for your situation.
The most common culprits are failed heating elements in electric units or pilot light issues in gas models. Thermostat problems can also cause sudden hot water loss. Sometimes it’s as simple as a tripped circuit breaker or a gas supply issue. Sediment buildup over time can cause components to fail unexpectedly. In North Auburn’s hard water areas, mineral deposits accelerate wear on heating elements and other parts. Most sudden failures can be repaired the same day if you have the right parts and experience.
Simple repairs like replacing a heating element or thermostat usually take 1-2 hours. More complex issues involving gas lines or extensive electrical work might take 3-4 hours. Water heater replacement typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on whether modifications to plumbing or electrical connections are needed. We come prepared with common parts, so most repairs can be completed in a single visit. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront so you can plan accordingly.
If your tankless unit is less than 10 years old and the repair cost is reasonable, fixing it usually makes sense. Tankless water heaters are more complex but generally more efficient and longer-lasting than tank units. However, if you’re having frequent issues or the repair costs are high, switching to a quality tank unit might be more practical. Tank water heaters have lower upfront costs and simpler maintenance requirements. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation and budget.
