When to Repair Versus Replace Your Water Heater
A water heater is a major investment and, depending on the capacity and type of unit you choose, it could cost quite a bit of money. However, you could end up spending even more if you continue to repair a water heater that may just be past its prime.
If you’re stuck trying to decide whether it’s best to repair or replace your water heater, consider the following:
- How much you’re spending on your utility bills: As your water heater ages, it becomes less and less efficient. This means that how much you spend on your monthly energy and water bills will continue to rise regardless of whether you change your water usage or not. If you start to notice unexplained spikes in your bills, consider having our Lexington water heater repair specialists come inspect your unit to help you reach a decision.
- How much you’re spending on repairs and how often: As you continue to repair your water heater, chances are that it will become more and more expensive. We generally suggest considering the cost of the repair. If it is equal to half or more of the cost of a replacement, it might be in your best interest to just get a new unit.
- How old your current water is: Most water heaters, with proper maintenance, can last around 10 years. If your water heater has reached this age or is quickly approaching it, it might be time to consider a replacement.
