Factors that matter
- Age and expected remaining life of the unit.
- Location and severity of any leak.
- Tank, burner, element or control condition.
- Past repairs and current reliability.
- Capacity and hot-water demand.
- Installation and code requirements for replacement.
Leaks deserve prompt attention
- Water around a heater can damage the surrounding area. If active leaking is present, protect the area when safe and call for evaluation.
Get a comparison you can understand
- Ask what failed, whether the repair addresses the root cause, what replacement would change and which installation work is included.
