As with anything in the plumbing and drain business, every situation is different because people’s homes are different, and they have different equipment. So, if you are wondering whether to replace or repair your water heater, check out the video below to learn more…
How Long Do Water Heaters Last?
The average lifespan of most water heaters is about 10 years. If your water heater breaks down after you have had it for 8 years, it might make more sense to replace it with a new one. If you have a break down with a 3-year-old water heater, repairing it might be the best option.
However, we always leave this decision up to our customers. We do our best to give you the information you need to make an educated choice but the choice is always yours.
