When to Repair or Replace Your Water Heater
Deciding whether to repair or replace your water heater can be confusing, especially when you're dealing with the stresses of a total breakdown. The right choice depends on several factors, including your unit's age, the extent of the problem, and long-term cost considerations. Our honest assessment helps you make the most economical decision for your situation.
When repair makes sense:
- Your water heater is less than 10 years old and well-maintained
- The problem is isolated to specific components like thermostats, heating elements, or valves
- Repair costs are less than half the price of a new unit
- Your current unit meets your household's hot water demands
- The tank itself shows no signs of corrosion or structural damage
When replacement is the better investment:
- Your unit is approaching or exceeding its expected lifespan (8 to 12 years for traditional units)
- Repair costs exceed 50% of replacement costs, especially for older units
- You're experiencing frequent breakdowns requiring multiple service calls
- Your energy bills have increased significantly due to reduced efficiency
- You need increased capacity for your growing household
Our technicians provide transparent recommendations based on your unit's condition and your family's needs, never pushing unnecessary replacements or temporary fixes that won't last.

Brian was very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained the problem, our options, and what his recommendations were. He worked very fast, too, and we ended up paying a little less than what was originally estimated. He also made sure everything was put back together and even cleaned up afterwards. We are very happy with his service and appreciate his professionalism. We’ll definitely look to Intelligent Service again for any plumbing issues. Thank you so much! -
