How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?

Repair makes sense when your unit is relatively young, the problem affects just one component, and the fix costs significantly less than replacement. We typically recommend repair when costs stay well under 50% of a new unit’s price. Replacement usually makes more financial sense when repair costs approach half the price of a new water heater, when you’re facing repeated problems, or when your unit is near the end of its expected lifespan. Most traditional water heaters last 8-12 years, while tankless units can go 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Other signs pointing toward replacement include rust in your hot water, significant leaks from the tank itself, or consistently inadequate hot water even after repairs. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
The most common issues we see are heating element failure in electric units and pilot light problems in gas water heaters. Thermostat malfunctions can also cause sudden loss of hot water. Sometimes it’s as simple as a tripped circuit breaker or gas supply issue. Sediment buildup over time is another frequent culprit that causes overheating and component failure, especially with Sheridan’s mineral-rich water. While some of these are quick fixes, others indicate bigger problems that need professional attention. The key is getting an accurate diagnosis so you’re not throwing money at the wrong problem. We’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it properly.
Absolutely. Water heater failures don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we. We provide same-day emergency service for water heater problems throughout Sheridan and surrounding areas. Whether your water heater failed overnight or you’re dealing with a leak that needs immediate attention, we respond quickly to restore your hot water and prevent further damage. Emergency service includes the same upfront pricing and professional approach as scheduled appointments. We understand how water heater problems can disrupt your entire household routine. That’s why we prioritize emergency calls and work to get your hot water restored as quickly as possible without cutting corners on quality.
Water heater replacement typically takes 3-6 hours depending on the complexity of the installation and any necessary upgrades to meet current codes. Straightforward replacements where we’re swapping similar units usually take closer to 3 hours. More complex installations that require electrical or gas line modifications, venting changes, or code compliance upgrades can take up to 6 hours. Tankless water heater installations often require additional time for proper venting and gas line sizing. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront so you can plan accordingly. Most installations are completed the same day, and we’ll have your hot water restored and fully tested before we leave.
We service all major water heater brands including Rheem, Bradford White, AO Smith, Whirlpool, and others. We handle traditional tank-style electric and gas units, tankless water heaters, and hybrid heat pump models. Even with older or discontinued models, we can usually source the necessary parts or recommend suitable alternatives. Our experience with different brands helps us guide you toward the most reliable options for your specific needs and budget. We work with you to select the right product that suits your efficiency needs, household size, and budget. Whether you want a traditional tank system or are interested in upgrading to a tankless unit, we’ll explain the pros and cons of each option.
Regular maintenance is the best way to prevent problems and extend your water heater’s lifespan. We recommend annual maintenance that includes flushing out sediment, checking the anode rod, and inspecting all components for wear. Sediment buildup is particularly common in Sheridan due to mineral content in the local water supply. Flushing your tank annually removes this buildup and prevents overheating that can damage internal components. Many manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep warranties valid, so staying on top of service protects your investment. Our maintenance services catch small issues before they become major problems, saving you money on costly repairs and helping your water heater reach its full expected lifespan.
