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

Age is the biggest factor – most traditional tank water heaters last 8-12 years, while tankless systems can run 15-20 years with proper maintenance. If your system is approaching these ages and having frequent problems, replacement usually makes more financial sense than continued repairs. However, newer systems with single-component failures are often worth repairing. We evaluate each situation individually, considering the age of your system, the extent of the problem, your budget, and how long you plan to stay in your home. Our goal is to give you honest advice about what makes the most sense for your specific situation.
Roseville’s hard water is a major contributor to water heater problems. Mineral buildup from hard water creates sediment in tank systems and scale buildup in tankless units, reducing efficiency and causing premature failure. Age-related component wear is also common, especially in homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s where original water heaters are reaching end of life. Thermostat failures, heating element problems in electric units, and gas valve issues in gas systems are frequent repair needs. Regular maintenance can prevent many of these problems, but once they occur, professional diagnosis is important to avoid temporary fixes that fail quickly.
Most water heater repairs take 1-3 hours depending on the problem and parts availability. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement or heating element changes are usually completed within an hour. More complex repairs involving gas valves, venting issues, or multiple component failures can take several hours. We carry common parts on our service trucks, so most repairs are completed the same day. If special-order parts are needed, we’ll discuss temporary solutions to restore your hot water while parts arrive. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling, and we work efficiently to minimize the time you’re without hot water.
Yes, we repair and service both gas and electric water heaters, including traditional tank systems and modern tankless units. Our technicians are trained on all major brands and types of systems commonly found in Roseville homes. Gas water heater repairs require specific expertise with gas connections, venting systems, and safety controls – we’re licensed and experienced with these requirements. Electric system repairs involve electrical components, heating elements, and thermostats that require different diagnostic approaches. Whether your system runs on natural gas or electricity, we have the tools and knowledge to diagnose problems accurately and complete repairs safely.
Turn off the power supply immediately – flip the circuit breaker for electric units or turn the gas control to “off” for gas systems. Shut off the water supply using the valve at the top of the tank or the main water shutoff if you can’t locate the individual valve. Start removing water from around the unit and move any stored items away from the area to prevent damage. Don’t attempt to repair leaking water heaters yourself – they involve pressurized water, electrical connections, or gas lines that require professional handling. Call for emergency service right away, as leaking water heaters can cause significant property damage and may indicate internal tank failure that requires immediate replacement.
Water heater repair costs depend on the specific problem and parts needed. Simple repairs like thermostat replacement typically range from $150-300, while more complex issues involving heating elements, gas valves, or control systems can cost $300-600. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know the exact cost and can make an informed decision. Emergency service calls may include additional fees for after-hours response. We believe in transparent pricing without hidden charges or surprise fees. If repair costs approach 50% of replacement cost on an older system, we’ll discuss replacement options that might provide better long-term value for your investment.
