Should I repair or replace my water heater?
Many water heater problems can be repaired. The right decision depends on the condition of the equipment, the type of problem, the availability of parts and whether the water heater still meets your household’s hot-water needs.
Repair May Make Sense When
- The problem is limited to a repairable component
- The water heater has otherwise been operating reliably
- Parts remain available
- The equipment still provides enough hot water for your household
- There is no significant damage to the tank or equipment
- The repair cost remains manageable
Replacement May Be Worth Exploring When
- Repairs are becoming more frequent
- The water heater repeatedly stops working
- The equipment no longer provides enough hot water
- The tank has significant rust, corrosion or leakage
- Parts are difficult to source
- Your household’s hot-water needs have changed
- The existing equipment no longer fits your available space
- The repair cost is significant compared with replacement
An Enercare technician can inspect the immediate problem and explain the available repair options.
If replacement may be more practical, Enercare can also help you compare tank and tankless water heaters suited to your home.
