Water Heater Replacement

Some water heaters can be repaired, but in many cases, replacement is the smarter, more cost-effective choice. Here’s how to know:

• Frequent Repairs: If you’ve had multiple leaks or component failures in the past year or two, replacement is often cheaper in the long run.
• Old Age: Most water heaters last 8–12 years. After that, efficiency drops and failure risk increases, especially in 85308 where hard water takes its toll.
• Rusty Water or Corrosion: Brown or red-tinted water or visible rust at the tank base are major warning signs that the unit is nearing the end.
• Not Enough Hot Water: Whether your family has grown or your water needs have changed, your old unit might simply be undersized.
• Rising Utility Bills: Older models are less efficient. A newer, energy-saving system can reduce your monthly costs and qualify for rebates.
