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 financial sense. However, newer units with single-issue failures like a bad heating element or thermostat are often worth repairing. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest advice about the most cost-effective option, including potential energy savings from newer, more efficient models.
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 is another major cause – it insulates the heating elements and makes them work harder until they burn out. In Penryn’s older homes, we also see issues with corroded connections and aging electrical components. A proper diagnosis identifies the root cause so you’re not dealing with repeated failures of the same component.
Most common repairs like replacing heating elements, thermostats, or gas valves take 1-2 hours once we have the right parts. More complex issues involving electrical rewiring or gas line work might take 3-4 hours. Tankless water heater repairs can vary widely depending on the problem – some electronic issues are quick fixes, while others require component replacement that takes longer. We’ll give you a time estimate upfront so you can plan your day accordingly. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling, and we carry common parts to avoid delays.
We repair both tankless and traditional tank water heaters. Tankless units require specialized knowledge because they have more complex electronic controls and precise venting requirements. Our technicians are trained on the major tankless brands and common failure points like scale buildup in the heat exchanger, faulty flow sensors, and ignition problems. We also handle the annual maintenance that tankless units need to stay efficient and reliable. Whether you have a gas or electric tankless system, we have the diagnostic tools and replacement parts to get it working properly.
Yes, we provide emergency water heater repair service for Penryn residents. We understand that losing hot water isn’t something you can plan around, especially during colder months. Our emergency service covers situations like water heater leaks that could cause property damage, complete loss of hot water, or gas-related safety concerns. We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within a few hours. Emergency service does carry additional charges compared to regular scheduled appointments, but we’ll explain all costs upfront before starting any work.
First, turn off the power to an electric water heater at the circuit breaker, or turn the gas valve to “off” on a gas unit. Then shut off the water supply – there should be a valve on the cold water line going into the top of the tank. If water is actively leaking onto the floor, try to contain it with towels or buckets to prevent property damage. Don’t attempt to repair a leaking tank yourself, as this often indicates the tank has corroded through and needs replacement. Call us immediately for emergency service, as continued leaking can cause significant water damage to your home’s flooring and structure.
