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 with proper maintenance. If your unit is approaching these ages and having problems, replacement usually makes more sense than expensive repairs. However, newer units with specific component failures are often worth repairing. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest guidance based on the unit’s condition, repair costs, and your long-term needs.
Plymouth’s hard water is tough on water heater components. Mineral buildup causes heating elements to fail, clogs drain valves, and creates sediment that reduces efficiency and damages tank bottoms. Temperature and pressure relief valves also fail more frequently in hard water areas. Regular maintenance helps, but most Plymouth water heaters need component replacement more often than units in soft water areas. Gas units can also have issues with venting and gas valve problems.
Most water heater repairs take 1-3 hours once we arrive and diagnose the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element, thermostat, or relief valve usually finish within an hour. More complex repairs involving multiple components or gas line work can take longer. We carry common parts on our trucks, so we can complete most repairs the same day without waiting for parts orders.
Yes, we handle emergency water heater repairs throughout Plymouth. We understand that some water heater problems can’t wait – especially if you’re dealing with leaks that could cause water damage or complete system failures during cold weather. Emergency service is available for urgent situations, and we’ll let you know our availability when you call. We prioritize calls involving active leaks or safety concerns.
Tankless water heaters are usually worth repairing if they’re under 10 years old and the issue is with specific components like the heat exchanger, gas valve, or control board. These units are more complex than tank water heaters, so proper diagnosis is crucial. In Plymouth’s hard water conditions, tankless units often need descaling and component cleaning more frequently. If your tankless unit is older and having multiple problems, replacement with a newer, more efficient model might be the better investment.
Water heater repair costs depend on what’s wrong and what parts are needed. Simple repairs like replacing a heating element or thermostat typically run $200-400. More complex repairs involving multiple components, gas work, or tank issues can cost $400-800. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. If repair costs approach 50% of replacement cost on an older unit, we’ll discuss replacement options that might make more financial sense.
