When a hot water heater is well into its lifespan and starting to need more and more repairs, you're faced with a decision: either keep repairing it or schedule a water heater replacement now before it fails.

Lindemann Heating & Cooling serves the greater Chicago, IL, region with expert water heater repair and replacement services. You don’t want to replace your appliance if basic repairs can safely extend its life. At the same time, you don’t want to keep throwing “good money after bad” on repairs that won’t make a big difference in the long run.

The Two Main Factors in a Water Heater Replacement or Repair Project

Deciding whether to repair or replace your water heater really comes down to two things:

The age of the appliance: If it’s a tank water heater that’s more than 12 years old, a water heater replacement should be considered.
Frequency of repairs: Repair costs add up. If you see your water heater repair technician more often than you see your kids, it’s time for a new water heater.

Making the Water Heater Replacement Decision

The main thing is that you need hot water in your home. If your current appliance can’t provide it consistently, it’s time to replace it. However, modern tank water heaters and tankless water heater systems contain several parts and components that can often be repaired or upgraded to restore quality performance.

Things to Watch For

Keep an eye out for signs that your water heater is beginning to fail. Here are five of the most common.

1. Water temperature issues

A struggling water heater often delivers water with inconsistent or fluctuating temperatures. You may also notice that it's taking longer for the water in your sinks and showers to get hot.

2. Weird noises

Listen for popping, banging, and other weird noises. These sounds could indicate excess sediment buildup or mechanical failure.

3. Water discoloration

If your water is rusty or muddy-looking, the cause could be a buildup of corrosion in the storage tank.

4. Leaks

Leaks are a red-flag warning, especially when they’re large enough to cause water to pool around the base of your water heater.

5. Higher energy costs

A failing water heater will run harder and cost more to operate. If you’re seeing a spike in energy costs, have the water heater checked out.
