Many homeowners can feel overwhelmed by the decision to repair their water heater or to just replace it altogether. Before you make the decision to replace your unit, hire a trustworthy plumber that knows what they’re looking at. They may be able to efficiently repair your water heater saving you a lot of time, money and hassle. Here are some of the tips we use to help our client decide on water heater repair or replacement.
Know The Age of Your Water Heater
Most water heaters last between 10 and 15 years. If you’re experiencing consistent problems with your water heater, it may be time to consider replacing rather than repairing. Water heater efficiency and cost is important. Continuing to put money into repairs on an old water heater is not the most beneficial option when considering your time and money.
Access the Frequency of Repairs in the Past
If you’re making yearly repairs on your water heater, it may be time to consider investing in a new one. However, if you’re experiencing an issue for the first time, you may benefit more from a simple repair. Keep in mind the cumulative cost of constant repairs versus a one time investment of a new water heater.
Evaluate the Severity of Your Water Heater Issues
Evaluating how serious your water heater problems are is vital in making that final decision in repairing or replacing. Call a professional from Moonlight Plumbing to come in and evaluate your water heater problems. We will give you an accurate estimate on the cost of your water heater repair. We can help you decide whether it’s a smart idea to replace or repair.
Consider the Cost of Your Current Water Heater Bill
Another benefit of talking to a Moonlight Plumbing professional is getting a general idea of your monthly water heater cost. If your monthly bill is too high or you’re experiencing frequent loss of hot water, we can help you analyze your cost to benefit ratio to determine your smartest option.
Compare the Quality and Cost of Technicians in Your Area
If you’ve hired plumbers in the past for water heater repairs but continue experiencing low quality performance, it may be time to get a second opinion. If water heater issues are occurring because of misdiagnosis, you shouldn’t jump right into purchasing a replacement. First, get a trusted second opinion and an accurate assessment from a professional at Moonlight Plumbing.
