Your water heater plays a vital role in your Hillsborough home, but when it starts acting up, you’re faced with a choice: repair it or replace it? Making the right decision depends on the age, efficiency, and condition of the unit.
When Repair Makes Sense
- Minor Issues: Problems like thermostat malfunctions or pilot light issues can usually be fixed affordably.
- Younger Units: If your water heater is under 8 years old, repairing it often makes financial sense.
- Plumbing Compatibility: Sometimes your system needs minor plumbing adjustments for better efficiency. Our General Plumbing services ensure smooth connections.
When Replacement Is Better
- Frequent Breakdowns: Constant repairs indicate your unit is failing.
- Older Units: Most water heaters have a lifespan of 8–12 years. Replacing your water heater ensures reliability.
- Upgrading to Efficiency: A new water heater can save on energy bills. Consider exploring energy-efficient options through our Water Heaters services.
Benefits of an Upgrade
- Protect Your Fixtures: Pairing your new water heater with our Water Conditioning Services can prevent hard water damage, extending the life of your appliances.
- Improved Plumbing: During replacement, it’s a good time to check for necessary General Plumbing updates.
