Should You Repair or Replace Your Water Heater?

• Age of the Unit: If your water heater is over 10 years old and experiencing frequent issues, replacing it may be more cost-effective in the long run. New models offer better efficiency and come with warranties.
• Frequency of Repairs: Constant repairs may signal the end of the unit's lifespan. If your water heater needs frequent fixes, investing in a replacement can save you from ongoing repair costs.
• Rising Energy Bills: Older water heaters often use more energy to heat water. If your energy bills have increased significantly, replacing your unit with a more efficient model can reduce operating costs.
• Water Quality Issues: If your water heater produces discolored, smelly, or rusty water, it could indicate internal corrosion or sediment buildup. In some cases, replacement may be the best option for restoring water quality.
• Lack of Hot Water: If your water heater struggles to keep up with demand, especially in larger households or businesses, upgrading to a more powerful or efficient model can provide consistent hot water without overworking the system.

How Much Does It Cost to Replace a Water Heater in Milwaukee?

The cost to replace a water heater in Milwaukee depends on factors such as the unit type, installation complexity and home requirements. Traditional tank water heaters typically run less than tankless models, depending on size and brand. Additional costs may include venting upgrades, plumbing modifications, or energy-efficient models, which offer long-term savings but come with a higher initial cost. Don’t forget to factor in permits, disposal fees, and potential infrastructure repairs. For an accurate estimate, consult with our licensed professionals.

How Often To Replace Your Water Heater

You should replace a traditional storage-tank water heater every 10–12 years, and a tankless model every 15–20 years, depending on usage and condition. If your water heater is experiencing frequent repairs, reduced efficiency, or signs of corrosion, such as rusty water or leaks, it’s time to consider replacing it sooner.
