It’s not always cut and dry when it comes to water heaters. But here are some factors to consider:
- Your Water Heater's Age. Many times, it depends on how old your water heater is. If you’re unsure how old yours is, you can check this by looking at the serial number on your water heater and matching it with the manual or online. Water heaters generally last anywhere from 8 to 13 years, depending on the model and how well they’ve been maintained.
- Persistent Issues. Have you had persistent issues and several repairs yet still keep running into problems? If so, it’s probably time for an upgrade.
- Repair Costs. Another way to help decide is to understand the cost of repairs versus replacement – if repairs cost more than half of a new installation, you should consider removing the old unit.
- Manufacturer & Home Warranties. Lastly, check for coverage by both the manufacturer and any home appliance warranties. They may offer you repair or replacement options.
