Water Heater: Repair or Replace?
How to Know When It’s Time to Repair or Replace Water Heater?
One of the biggest indicators that your water heater needs replacement is water that isn’t as hot as you expect it to be. This is generally caused by a defective thermostat or heating element and is a sign the water heater needs to be repaired or replaced. According to disastersafety.org, water heater failures cost an average of $4,444 per incident after the deductible was paid. Regularly maintaining your water heater can help it last longer and some repairs, like replacing the pressure-relief valve or heating component, are simple to do. Water heaters tend to be bulky and heavy and take a lot of work to install. Electric water heaters tend to last longer than the natural gas versions, though the type of water heater you have doesn’t necessarily predict how long your water heater will last.
