Repair vs. Replace: Which Is Right for Your Water Heater?

When your water heater starts experiencing issues, you might wonder whether it can be repaired or if it’s time to replace it altogether. Thankfully, there are a few factors to consider that can help you make this decision. 

You’ll want to think about: 

  • The Age of Your Water Heater: Is your water heater more than 10 to 15 years old? Or is it relatively new? If your water heater isn’t that old, you may want to repair it, rather than replace it altogether. 
  • The Cost of Repairs: Will it cost more to repair your water heater—either this one time or over the course of its lifespan—than it will to replace it? If so, you may want to save money by replacing the unit. 
  • How Often Your Water Heater Has Issues: If your water heater is constantly breaking down, it might be time to consider replacing it. Over time, water heaters will experience significant wear-and-tear, and continuous repairs may not be enough. 
  • Your Water Heater’s Efficiency: Does it take forever for your water to heat up? Do you run out of hot water quickly? Are your water bills higher than you want them to be? Upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient water heater may be the right choice. 
  • Whether Your Water Heater Has a Leak: While most water heater problems can be repaired, a leak is one thing that cannot be fixed. If your water heater has sprung a leak, it’s time to think about replacing it. 

If you are unsure whether you need water heater repairs or replacement, J&R Herra Home Services can help. Our team can come out for an onsite inspection and provide professional recommendations based on extensive industry experience. We are not pushy when it comes to sales and will never try to pressure you into a service or product we don’t honestly believe you need. 

Why Hire a Professional for Water Heater Repairs & Installation? 

Water heater repairs and installations should always be left up to the professionals. Improper repairs or incorrect installation can lead to a variety of problems down the line, including more breakdowns and component failures. Ultimately, attempting to fix your water heater or install a new one yourself could end up costing you much more than paying a professional to take care of the job. 

At J&R Herra Home Services, we offer affordable water heater solutions to homeowners throughout western Chicagoland. Our Kane County water heater repair and installation services are always completed by factory-trained, certified plumbing professionals with the experience and tools to get the job done quickly and correctly. Once we have finished repairing or installing your new water heater, we will make sure that everything is working properly before we leave.
