When to Replace vs. Repair Your Water Heater

It’s not always clear which option will be better for your home and wallet. But there are telltale signs that will help you assess, including:

• Warranty Status: You should have coverage for the cost of repairs if your unit is still under warranty. If not, you’ll want to have an assessment done to understand the severity of any damage.
• Age of Unit: If your unit is less than 6 years old, it’s more likely that repair is possible. Water heaters tend to last around 10 years before needing replacement.
• Condition of the Tank: Once a water heater tank leaks, there’s often no choice but to replace the unit. This typically happens when the anode rod has been eaten away, leaving corrosive elements to target the tank instead.
• Cost-Benefit of Replacement: If your water heater is still fairly new, and the repairs will cost less than half of the cost to install new, fixing the unit will likely be in your best interest.

Beyond the mechanical aspect of water heater knowledge, we also help homeowners stay in compliance with federal and state water use regulations. With Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Austin, you’re in good hands.
