Absolutely great service. I had an emergency at my rental units and they were there in an hour, problem solved two hours later. They have my business in Harrison County. - Jake R.
We’re often asked whether it’s better to repair or replace a water heater. The answer is that it depends. Our advice to you will depend on the cost of the water heater repair and the age and condition of the tank. All water heaters have an expected lifespan. If yours has reached the three-quarter mark, it’s likely better to replace it than continue repairing it. If it hasn’t, then we’ll recommend repair unless that fix is going to cost half or more the cost of a new system.
The most common reasons our customers need water heater service are sediment and limescale buildup. No matter how soft your water, these substances will accumulate over time. That’s why we recommend flushing the tank as a preventative step each year. This buildup can manifest in many different ways, including odd noises, discolored water, rising energy costs, and inconsistent temperatures. Other common issues include worn anode rods, malfunctioning or failed thermostats, faulty valves, and bad heating elements and burners.
If you opt for water heater replacement, we’ll help you size your new water heater for your current household. The average home needs a tank sized between 40 and 50 gallons. Larger households can choose a tank that holds 75 or even 100 gallons. There are smaller tanks available, too. You may also want to consider converting over to an on-demand system. It does cost a bit more upfront, but it’s cheaper in the long run and provides virtually endless hot water.
The benefits of a timely water heater repair or replacement include:
Peace of mind
Quieter operation
Better energy efficiency
Ample hot water when needed
