Water Heater Repair vs. Replacement

At 1-800-Plumber +Air, our team's extensive understanding of how the most common water heaters in the Lansdale area work allows us to handle nearly any type of necessary repair.

However, it is important to know that even the best water heaters are not designed to last forever. Most have an expected lifespan of approximately 8-15 years, so we will likely recommend purchasing a new one if yours is older than that.

Some quality water heaters from top brands may significantly outlast these typical time frames. Still, many older water heaters are likely to continue causing problems once they start to do so. For this reason, costly repairs to an older water heater rarely provide the same return on investment as they would if you had purchased yours more recently.

The specific type and model of water heater you have may also impact whether repairing or replacing it is likely to be your best option. Electric, gas, and tankless water heaters tend to have varying expected lifespans and respond differently to certain types of repairs.
