At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Rochester, we believe in providing honest assessments to help you make the right choice.
Here are some factors to consider:
- Age of Your Water Heater. The age of your water heater is a significant factor. Most standard tank-style water heaters have a lifespan of around 8-12 years. Is your unit approaching or exceeding this age range? Is so, it may be time to consider a replacement. Older units are more likely to experience frequent issues and become less energy-efficient.
- Frequency of Repairs. If your water heater constantly requires repairs and the costs are adding up, investing in a new, reliable unit might be more cost-effective. Frequent breakdowns and repairs can indicate that your system is at the end of its life.
- Inefficient Performance. Is your water heater no longer providing hot water as efficiently as it used to? Or if you need help to meet your household's hot water demands, it may be a sign of diminished efficiency. Upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient model can improve comfort and reduce utility costs.
At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Rochester, we prioritize transparency and honesty. We will only recommend a replacement if necessary or if you want a more modern unit.
