If your water heater has undergone frequent water heater repairs over the years and is likely to need many more, you may be better off scheduling water heater replacement services. Most water heaters have a lifespan of 11-20 years, but if you have never scheduled water heater repairs or maintenance, that lifespan can be significantly shorter. If you aren’t sure if you need a new water heater installed, we’ll consider these factors to help you decide:
- Your water heater is over 15 years old.
- You’ve been paying for more and more water heater repairs.
- You haven’t kept up with routine water heater maintenance.
- Your household’s hot water needs have changed.
- You want a bigger or more energy-efficient water heater.
- Your water heating bills have increased and you can’t afford them anymore.
