When to Repair vs Replace a Water Heater
Not every water heater needs to be replaced. In some cases, a repair makes sense. In others, replacement may be the better long-term option depending on:
- The age of the unit
- The condition of the tank
- The cost of repairs
- The overall reliability of the system
We ensure homeowners and businesses owners understand their options and what our red seal licensed plumbers believe is the best course of action.
