Water Heater Services in Raleigh

The first question with almost any water heater problem is whether it is worth fixing or whether the unit has reached the end of its life. It depends on the age of the heater, the cost of the fix, and how reliable you need your hot water to be. David gives you an honest read. If a repair will get you several more good years, he says so. If you would be putting money into a unit that is likely to fail again soon, he tells you that too.

• Repair usually makes sense when the unit is under about eight years old and the problem is a single part.
• Replacement usually makes sense when the unit is past ten to twelve years, leaking from the tank, or failing in more than one way.
• When it is genuinely a close call, David lays out both numbers so you can choose.
