Homeowner Guide
A standard tank water heater lasts about 8–12 years. If yours is younger and the problem is minor — a bad thermostat, a heating element, or a worn anode rod — a repair is usually the smart, cheaper choice. Past that age, or with the symptoms below, replacement is often the better value.
Sediment and scale shorten any water heater's life. Flushing the tank once a year clears buildup and is one of the cheapest ways to extend its lifespan — ask us to do it during a service visit.
Tankless units cost more up front but save space and deliver continuous hot water; traditional tanks are cheaper to install. Installation typically runs $875–$1,750 for a standard tank. If a failing heater has also caused water damage, get leak detection before it spreads. We'll walk you through both options — (540) 302-5580.
