When to Repair vs. Replace Your Water Heater

It’s not always easy to tell when you could get away with repairs compared to when your whole system needs to be replaced. If you’re faced with a hefty repair bill to get your water heater working again, use the general rule:

If repair costs exceed 50% of the price to install a new unit, consider replacing; if your system is under 10 years old and requires less than 50% of the cost, opt for repairs.

It’s essential to replace water heaters after a certain age or when you’re experiencing issues that can’t be fixed with simple repairs. Different kinds have different lifespans, on average. However, you can expect a storage tank water heater to last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. Proper installation and regular maintenance extend this timeline. If you don’t replace your unit when you should, you risk issues like:

  • An unexpected breakdown
  • Loss of water pressure
  • Carbon monoxide issues with gas systems
  • Water damage from a leaking tank
  • And more

How to Save Money On Your New Water Heater: Tax Credits

The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit is available to Fairfax-area homeowners looking to improve their house’s energy efficiency. For select systems installed through 2032, you can save up to 30%, with a maximum amount of $1,200.

We can work with you to find an eligible gas water heater that fits your needs and fulfills the credit requirements. Afterward, you can claim this credit on the IRS form 5965.

The Importance of Hiring a Professional & Avoiding DIY

There are countless reasons to hire a professional plumber or technician to install your water heater. Even savvy homeowners with light DIY experience could run into issues like:

  • Voided warranty: Many warranties have clauses requiring them to be installed by a licensed plumber. You could waste a lot of money if anything happens during the warranty period.
  • Gas leaks: If you’re installing a gas system, you always run the risk of an improper hookup or damage to gas-related components. Don’t take this risk if you don’t need to.
  • Damage to plumbing or the unit: You may accidentally do significant damage to your unit or the surrounding plumbing, which can end up costing you more than hiring a professional in the first place.
  • Higher monthly energy bills: Precise installation by an experienced professional can give you lower energy costs compared to when done yourself, saving you money each month.
