Is your water heater on the fritz? The first thing you need to think about is whether it’s worth repairing. Most water heaters have a life expectancy of around 8 to 13 years. This average varies depending on how large your house is and how frequently you use your water heater.
Likewise, your unit is likely to last much longer if you get it routinely maintained. Our routine water heater services include removing the mineral sediment that tends to build up in your water heater over time.
When you’re deciding to repair or replace your unit, consider the following:
Many new water heaters are not only more technologically advanced but also more energy and water efficient. If repairing your old water heater will cost just as much, if not more, out of pocket as buying a new water heater, you might want to consider purchasing a new model.

It's important to know when it's time to call in a professional plumber to access the condition of your water heater. Do you regularly check the condition of your water heater? Routine maintenance can increase the likelihood that it will only need minor repair rather than a full replacement.
Here are some telltale signs that it's time to get your water heater accessed by an expert:
There are few things worse than expecting a hot shower and finding the water ice cold. When your water heater breaks, you have a few options to consider. Option 1 - call in a licensed, insured, and New Braunfels water heater plumber to take a look. Whether you need water heater repair or the installation of a new unit, we can help.
Water heater repair costs depend on:
Your out-of-pocket expenses for repairing your water heater depend primarily on whether any existing warranties cover your unit. A younger water heater might still be covered by the manufacturer, which will save you quite a bit. However, warranties usually only last five to six years. If your water heater breaks outside of that time, you might be stuck with the bill.
If you purchased a home warranty covering your appliances, you will likely just need to pay the cost of a visit from your company’s chosen plumber. These insurance companies usually charge a flat-rate fee for each service visit, which makes your life a little easier.
The cost of repairing your water heater will depend on what is causing the issue. For example, replacing an anode rod will be a little more expensive than replacing a blown fuse.
But when it comes to pricing, we:
Believe it or not, tankless water heaters have been around and available since the early 1900s. However, the technology wasn’t efficient enough to be considered worth bothering with until the 1970s.
Tankless water heaters are space-saving and water-saving, but they also have their disadvantages. Tankless models work by using electricity to heat the water immediately upon using it.
There is no hot water storage tank; rather, as soon as you turn on the hot water, the tankless water heater heats the liquid as it passes through the unit on the way to your faucet.
While immediate hot water seems like a fantastic idea, tankless water heaters tend to be less effective the more hot water you need. For example, if you have a large family all using the hot water simultaneously, it can put too much pressure on the water heater and create more tepid water.
Likewise, while tankless models are more efficient, they tend to cost more on installation and cost more on average to operate than natural gas tank models. Another consideration to make with tankless models is your space. Tankless water heaters need to vent to a garage or an outside air source. If your old water heater is in a confined space, you may not be able to make the change without incurring additional expenses.
