Water Heater Repair and Replacement

Water heaters have to be the most ignored appliance in homes. They are always working to provide hot water at your command for warm showers in the morning, a relaxing bath after a busy day, to sanitize your dishes and more. Usually, no one thinks about their water heater until it finally quits working. A broken water heater is something nobody wants to deal with, but unfortunately, most people will over their lifetime.

After a problem is noticed, the next question is replace or repair? Knowing the typical life of the water heater, we recommend replacing it after ten years of use with no maintenance. Doing repairs after 10-12 years will help, but know you are getting into the life of the tank and the lack of maintenance that already started to affect its lining and seals. Tanks less than 9 years old with the no signs of corrosion outside may benefit from some maintenance to extend its life.

Now the hard part - do you buy another storage-type water heater? Power-vented? Tankless? Give us a call, we can analyze your usage and pick the right one for you - 814-723-5670
