Should I Have My Water Heater Replaced or Repaired?
The typical water heater life expectancy is between 8 and 12 years. This will vary depending on the manufacturer, water heater design, water quality, quality of installation, and if the regularly scheduled maintenance has been performed.
If your water heater is older than the typical life expectancy and it has stopped working or you are seeing leakage, it is probably time to replace. Replacement will not only help to ensure a continuous flow of hot water for years to come, newer water heaters are also more energy-efficient than those being manufactured ten or more years ago. Replacing your old water heater with a new one will also help cut energy costs.
However, replacement is not always necessary. Sometimes you just need to replace a component. If you are having troubles with your water heater, call on The Plumbing Joint and one of our trained plumbers can evaluate the situation and help you decide if you should repair or replace your water heater.
Troubleshooting Common Water Heater Problems
Besides leakage, which may require the repair or replacement of water heater components, the most common problem is that the water coming from the heater isn’t hot enough. Usually, the problem is a faulty heating element or thermostat.
You can check the following tips to troubleshoot these issues:
Electric water heater:
- Remove sediment from the tank by flushing the heater
- Insulate the pipes
- Reset the thermostat and/or make sure the power is connected
- Replace the heating element or thermostat
- Raise the temperature setting
Gas water heater:
- Remove sediment from the tank by flushing the heater
- Make sure that the gas is connected and that the pilot light is lit
- Insulate the water pipes
- Raise the temperature setting
- Replace the thermocoupler or clean the gas burner

We had a unique plumbing problem that involved low water pressure and watering a community garden.
“Not only did the Plumbing Joint fix the underlying problem (bad pressure step-down valve) they saved us money because they provided insights into the community garden watering project!”

Thank you for the great cost effective work. 5 Stars.
“I had my water tank replaced today by the plumbing joint and they did a great job. It was not an easy job as he had to remove another tank to get access to the failed tank.”
