Water Heater Repair vs. Replacement: Which Is Right for You?

Deciding whether to repair or replace your water heater can be a difficult choice. Here are some key factors to consider when determining which option is best for your home:

When to Repair Your Water Heater

Age of the Water Heater: If your water heater is less than 8-10 years old, a repair may be more cost-effective, especially if the problem is minor, such as a faulty thermostat or heating element.
Minor Issues: Problems like inconsistent water temperature, strange noises, or small leaks can often be repaired without the need for a full replacement. If the tank is still in good condition, a repair can extend the life of your water heater.
Warranty Coverage: If your water heater is still under warranty, it may make sense to repair the unit rather than replace it, as the cost of parts and labor could be covered.

When to Replace Your Water Heater

Age and Efficiency: Water heaters typically last about 10 years. If your unit is older and has become less efficient, replacing it with a newer, more energy-efficient model can save you money on energy bills and prevent future breakdowns.
Frequent Repairs: If you’ve had to repair your water heater multiple times, the cost of repairs may start to add up. In this case, replacing the water heater is often the more economical option.
Major Leaks or Corrosion: If your water heater’s tank is leaking or shows signs of rust and corrosion, it’s usually a sign that the unit is beyond repair and needs to be replaced.
Running Out of Hot Water: If you find that your current water heater is not meeting your household’s hot water needs, upgrading to a larger or tankless water heater may provide a more reliable supply of hot water.

Common Water Heater Problems We Repair

Water heaters are prone to wear and tear over time. Here are some common water heater problems we can diagnose and repair:

No Hot Water: If your water heater isn’t producing hot water, it may be due to a faulty heating element, thermostat, or gas valve.
Insufficient Hot Water: If you’re running out of hot water too quickly, your water heater may be too small for your household, or it could be losing efficiency as it ages.
Leaking Water Heater: A leaking water heater can cause significant damage to your home. We can quickly identify and repair the source of the leak.
Strange Noises: Rumbling, popping, or hissing noises from your water heater may indicate sediment buildup, which can affect its efficiency and lifespan.

Tankless Water Heater Installation in Dallas

Tired of running out of hot water during showers or baths? Consider upgrading to a tankless water heater. Unlike traditional water heaters that store hot water in a tank, tankless water heaters heat water on demand. This means you’ll have endless hot water whenever you need it and no wasted energy heating water that isn’t being used.

Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters:

Endless Hot Water: With a tankless system, you’ll never have to worry about running out of hot water again, making it ideal for larger households or those with high hot water usage.
Space-Saving Design: Tankless water heaters are compact and can be installed in smaller spaces, freeing up valuable storage space in your attic or utility area.
Energy Efficiency: Since tankless water heaters only heat water when needed, they use less energy, reducing your utility bills over time.

At Total Plumbing, we specialize in the proper sizing and installation of tankless water heaters to ensure your system meets your household’s specific demands. Our technicians will assess your home’s water usage and recommend the right-sized unit for optimal performance and efficiency.

Benefits of Upgrading Your Water Heater

Upgrading your water heater comes with several benefits, including:

Improved Efficiency: Newer water heaters are more energy-efficient, reducing your utility bills and providing consistent hot water.
Better Performance: A new unit will heat water faster and provide a more reliable supply of hot water for your home’s needs.
Extended Warranty: With a new water heater, you get the peace of mind that comes with a manufacturer’s warranty, protecting your investment.
