Tankless Water Heater Repair & Replacement in Cincinnati
One of the most important considerations to make when repairing your water heater is to consider whether you might just want or need to replace it. In some cases, a water heater is so damaged, that there is no way to repair it completely before it breaks down again. This type of damage is common with extremely old water heaters.
On average, a water heater’s lifespan is around 8-12 years for a traditional water heater and up to 20 years for a tankless model. If your water heater is having troubles, consider the following factors before making a decision:
- Water Heater’s Age: If your water heater is nearing the edge of its lifespan, it’s going to be harder and more expensive to repair. New technology is always coming out, meaning manufacturers stop producing parts for older models at some point. If your water heater is too old, it’s also not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty, meaning any repair will likely have to be out-of-pocket. Weigh the cost of repairing your unit against the cost of buying a brand-new model.
- Any Existing Manufacturer’s Warranty: If your water heater isn’t too old, it may still be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty, which would cut your costs enormously. Manufacturers want to guarantee trust in their brand, so they will cover the costs of any repairs if your water heater is still under the umbrella of the warranty.
- Any Existing Home Appliance Warranty: Some property owners also opt into home appliance warranties, which cover repair costs for several home appliances. The property owner usually only has to pay the service fee and any extraneous expenses not covered by the warranty.
