You’ll also get honest advice about when repair makes sense versus replacement. Sometimes a $150 repair can give you several more years of reliable service. Other times, replacing an old, inefficient unit saves you money in the long run.

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. If your unit is approaching these ages and having frequent problems, replacement often makes more sense financially. However, if you have a newer unit with a specific component failure, repair is usually the smart choice. We’ll assess your situation honestly and explain the costs and benefits of both options so you can make the best decision for your budget and needs.
In Courtland, we see a lot of sediment buildup due to hard water, which reduces efficiency and can cause the unit to overheat. Heating element failures are also common in electric units, especially as they age. Gas water heaters often develop thermocouple problems or issues with the pilot light. Pressure relief valve leaks are another frequent issue we handle. Most of these problems are repairable if caught early, which is why we recommend annual maintenance to catch issues before they leave you without hot water.
Simple repairs like replacing a heating element or thermostat usually take 1-2 hours. More complex issues like gas valve problems or extensive leak repairs can take 3-4 hours. We’ll give you a time estimate upfront so you can plan your day accordingly. Emergency repairs sometimes take longer if we need to locate specific parts, but we keep common components in our trucks to handle most repairs on the first visit. The goal is always to restore your hot water as quickly as possible while doing the job right.
Yes, we provide emergency water heater repair service in Courtland because we know water heater failures don’t wait for business hours. If you’re dealing with a complete loss of hot water, significant leaks, or gas-related safety concerns, we’ll prioritize your call. Emergency service is available evenings and weekends, though emergency rates may apply during off-hours. We’ll always discuss pricing upfront so there are no surprises. For non-emergency repairs, we can usually schedule same-day or next-day service during regular hours.
First, turn off the power to electric units or the gas supply to gas units. Then shut off the water supply valve at the top of the tank. If there’s significant water, start removing it with towels or a wet vacuum to prevent damage to your floors or belongings. Small leaks from the pressure relief valve are sometimes normal, but leaks from the tank itself usually mean replacement is needed. Don’t ignore even small leaks – they typically get worse over time and can cause water damage to your home.
Simple repairs like thermostat replacement typically run $150-250, while heating element replacement costs $200-300. More complex repairs involving gas components or multiple parts can range from $300-500. We always provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. If repair costs approach 50% of a new water heater’s price, we’ll discuss replacement options. Our goal is to give you the most cost-effective solution, whether that’s repair or replacement.
