Should You Repair or Replace Your Water Heater?

While both service options will reliably heat water, sometimes it’s smarter to replace an older system rather than continue spending money on repairs. Here’s when a new water heater makes sense:
  • It’s over 10-12 years old
  • It needs frequent repairs
  • The repair cost is half the price of a new one
  • It’s no longer energy efficient

Bonus: New water heaters come with manufacturer warranties and energy savings over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

The popping, gurgling, or banging sound coming from your water heater is usually because of a buildup of sediment inside it. Over time, natural minerals in your water settle to the bottom of the tank and form a hard layer of crust. When the burner heats the water underneath this crust, steam bubbles break through the layer, causing those loud popping sounds.

This buildup makes your heater work much harder and can eventually crack the tank. At Preferred Plumbing & Drain, we can flush and descale your water heater to remove all that trapped sediment. Cleaning out the tank makes the loud noises stop and helps your system run smoothly and quietly again.

If your hot water runs out faster than usual, your water heater may have sediment buildup, a faulty heating element, thermostat issues, or it may simply be getting old. Sometimes the system can no longer keep up with your household’s hot water needs. 

At Preferred Plumbing and Drain, our local plumbers can arrive at your location within 60 minutes or less. We inspect your water heater, find the cause of the problem, and recommend the best repair or replacement solution to restore reliable hot water.

If you notice water puddling around the bottom of your water heater, you need to act quickly. Leaks can come from loose valves, but if the water is dripping directly from the bottom of the metal tank, it usually means the inside of the tank has rusted through. A rusted, leaking tank cannot be patched and must be replaced before it bursts and floods your home.

Preferred Plumbing & Drain offers 24/7 emergency service. Our emergency plumbers will reach your location quickly within an hour to safely turn off the water and gas lines. We inspect the leak and, if you need a new unit, we also offer 20% off on labor and a free estimate to help you choose the right water heater replacement for your budget.

A traditional tank water heater usually lasts 10-12 years. Even if an old water heater seems to be working fine, its inner parts are wearing out, making it use a lot more energy. It can also cost more on your monthly bills. Modern tankless water heaters last longer, often reaching 20 years or more with proper care.

If your system is getting old and constantly breaking down, call Preferred Plumbing & Drain at  8004140340. With over 30+ years of combined industry experience, we can give you honest advice on whether it is smarter to repair it or replace it. We help you compare options, and we even offer 20% off labor + free estimates for new installations to make upgrading simple and affordable.

A regular water heater keeps a huge tank of water hot all day long, even when you are asleep or at work, which wastes energy. A tankless water heater does not use a storage tank at all. Instead, it instantly heats the water using strong burners only when you turn on a hot water faucet, giving you an endless supply of hot water.

Choosing the right system depends on your budget and how much water your family uses. The licensed team at Preferred Plumbing & Drain (License #856944/848878) installs both traditional tanks and high-efficiency tankless systems. We look at your home’s setup and explain which option will save you the most money and give you the best performance.

Most plumbers recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. It helps remove sediment buildup, improve efficiency, extend the life of the unit, and reduce the chance of breakdowns. Many homeowners skip maintenance until the system stops working, and that is not sustainable. 

At Preferred Plumbing and Drain, we provide water heater inspections and maintenance services to help keep your hot water running safely and reliably all year long. We’re a BBB-accredited plumbing company with an A+ rating; that means you can completely rely on our water heater and other plumbing solutions.
