Answers to the questions Fayetteville-area homeowners ask most about water heaters.
๐ Call (910) 994-0771Repair ยท Replacement ยท Tankless ยท Leaks
Most tank water heaters last about 8 to 12 years. Tankless units often last longer with regular descaling.
If the tank is leaking or the unit is around 10 years or older, replacement is usually the better value. For younger units with a bad part, a repair often makes sense.
A leak from the bottom of the tank often means the tank itself is failing, and that usually calls for a replacement. Leaks from the top fittings or the relief valve are often fixable.
