We hope not! We’ll do all we can to repair it to help you avoid buying a replacement. There are several factors that can help you determine if a repair or new water heater is right for you.
Here are three factors you can consider:
- Age of Your Water Heater. Most water heaters last around 8 to 12 years. If your water heater is old and needs frequent repairs, replacing your water heater may be the best option.
- Inefficient Performance. Is your water heater no longer providing sufficient hot water or is it driving up energy bills? Upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient model can help you save on utility costs.
- Needs Frequent Repairs. If your water heater is constantly breaking down and requiring repairs, it could be a sign that the unit is reaching the end of its lifespan. Repeated breakdowns can also lead to increased repair costs over time.
At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Umatilla County, we’ll take the time to review your options with you. After troubleshooting the issue, we’ll go over water heater repair pricing and, if you’re interested, replacement options. In the end - we want whatever will be most cost-effective for you.
