Repair, Replace, or Upgrade Options

Every water heater situation is different. Some need a simple repair to get back to reliable operation. Others have reached the end of their useful life and replacement makes more financial sense.

Whether you’re dealing with an emergency failure or planning an upgrade to a more energy-efficient system, you get the same thorough approach. Clear diagnosis, honest recommendations, and professional installation or repair that lasts.

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 approaching these ages and having frequent problems, replacement usually makes more sense than repeated repairs. Other signs pointing toward replacement include rust in the hot water, significant leaks from the tank itself, or consistently inadequate hot water even after repairs. A professional diagnosis will give you the real story about whether repair or replacement is your best investment.
The most common culprits are heating element failure in electric units or pilot light issues in gas water heaters. Thermostat problems can also cause sudden loss of hot water. Sometimes it’s as simple as a tripped circuit breaker or gas supply issue. Sediment buildup over time can cause overheating and component failure. While some of these are quick fixes, others indicate bigger problems that need professional attention. The key is getting an accurate diagnosis so you’re not throwing money at the wrong problem.
Most common repairs like replacing heating elements, thermostats, or gas control valves take 1-3 hours once the right parts are available. Simple fixes like relighting pilot lights or resetting breakers can be done in minutes. More complex repairs involving multiple components or tank issues may take longer. Water heater replacement typically takes 3-6 hours depending on the complexity of the installation and any necessary upgrades to meet current codes. You’ll get a realistic timeframe upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, CG Plumbing services all major water heater brands including Rheem, Bradford White, AO Smith, Whirlpool, and others. We handle traditional tank-style electric and gas units, tankless water heaters, and hybrid heat pump models. Even with older or discontinued models, we can usually source the necessary parts or recommend suitable alternatives. If a repair isn’t feasible due to parts availability or cost-effectiveness, we’ll explain your replacement options clearly so you can make an informed decision.
Absolutely. Water heater failures don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we. CG Plumbing provides same-day emergency service for water heater problems throughout Sheridan and surrounding areas. Whether your water heater failed overnight or you’re dealing with a leak that needs immediate attention, we’ll respond quickly to restore your hot water and prevent further damage. Emergency service includes the same upfront pricing and professional approach as scheduled appointments.
Repair makes sense when the unit is relatively young, the problem is isolated to one component, and the fix costs significantly less than replacement. Replacement is usually the better choice when repair costs approach 50% of a new unit’s price, when you’re facing repeated problems, or when the water heater is near the end of its expected lifespan. New units also offer improved energy efficiency that can offset the higher upfront cost through lower utility bills. A professional assessment will help you understand which option gives you the best value for your specific situation.
