Repair or Replace?

When deciding whether you need to replace the unit or if you need us to fix it, first consider how old it is. In our experience, if a unit is older than ten years, it more than likely needs to be replaced.  If you’re a new homeowner or have forgotten when you purchased it, locate the serial number, which contains the date the unit was manufactured.

Another sign that replacement is necessary is if sediment has accumulated on the bottom of the tank. This hardened layer will result in a less efficient heater along with clanging and rattling noises. If you notice that water looks rusty, it could indicate that the unit is rusting from the inside out. This will eventually result in a leak, which will require water heater repair or replacement. It isn’t always easy to locate the cause, so let members of our staff identify whether we can fix it or if you need to install a new one.
