Water Heater Repair FAQs

How long do water heaters last?

Most water heater units last between 15 and 20 years with proper system maintenance. If your home was built over 20 years ago and has never received a water heater upgrade, you could be relying on an outdated system.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

You should consider replacing your water heater if any of the following situations apply:

  • The water heater is 20 years old or older
  • You’ve had increased repair requests recently
  • Your system no longer produces hot water
  • The water heater shows signs of corrosion
  • The cost to repair your water heater is 50% or more than the cost to replace it

How often should I schedule water heater maintenance?

Annual water heater maintenance will keep your manufacturer warranty active. Performing annual maintenance also increases system efficiency, improves overall performance, and extends your unit’s life span. If it’s been more than one year since your last maintenance appointment, you could be at risk of needed water heater repairs in the near future.
