Aire Serv of Louisville - Water Heater Installation & Repair

The decision to repair or replace a water heater depends on various factors, including the age and condition of the unit, the extent of the damage, and the repair costs versus the cost of a new unit. In general, if your water heater is over ten years old and requires frequent repairs, it may be best to replace it with a newer, more energy-efficient model. If the repair costs are minimal, repairing the unit could be a cost-effective solution.

The average lifespan of a hot water heater is ten to fifteen years. However, the lifespan varies based on factors such as maintenance, water quality, and usage patterns. If your unit is more than ten years old or showing signs of wear and tear, it may be time to start considering a replacement.

Several signs indicate that your water heater may be going out, including rusty water, an unusual sound coming from the tank, a drop in water temperature, insufficient hot water, and leaks from the tank. If you notice any of these signs, contact a professional plumber to diagnose the problem and recommend a repair or replacement.

Regular maintenance can help prevent water heater problems and extend the lifespan of your unit. Some basic maintenance tasks include draining and flushing the tank, checking and adjusting the thermostat, inspecting the pressure relief valve, and maintaining proper ventilation.
