Repair or Replace Your Water Heater?

Here are some factors that can help you decide whether you should repair or replace your water heating system!

  • Water Heater Age: One of the most important factors to consider when repairing or replacing your water heater is its age. If your water heater is more than 10 years old, it’s probably time to start looking for a new one. Even if your water heater has been dependable through the course of its life, normal wear and tear can result in sudden breakdowns and malfunctions. This can lead to costly problems and even prevent you from having hot water for some time. To find out how old your water heater is, look for the serial number on the manufacturer’s sticker, which is located at the top of the water heater.
  • Frequent Unit Repairs: A water heater is a heavy and frequently used appliance, which means it’ll need one or two repair jobs over the course of its life. However, if you need to shell out a lot of money on frequent water heater repairs, you might want to consider replacing it all together. It’s better to pay the high up-front costs of a new water heater and reap the long-term benefits rather than pay a little less for repairs and reap the short-term benefits.
  • Discolored Water: If your water is frequently rusty or discolored, your water heater might be corroding internally. Consult a professional and see what repair options are available to you. However, if this has been going on for a long time, consider replacing your unit as corrosion can lead to fractures and cracks.
  • Water Leakage: Once there are fractures in your unit, they will inevitably lead to leaks. These leaks will be wasteful and cause further damage to your home, leading to water damage and mold growth in your crawlspaces.
  • Lack of Hot Water: A major sign of prolonged water heater damage is lack of hot water. Being unable to provide hot water is usually caused by the build up of sediment in the tank. If your water heater cannot provide the basic task of supplying you with hot water, it’s time to consider replacing it.

Benefits of Early Water Heater Repair

Taking care of water heater repair is important to help the system run efficiently and avoid any potential water heater emergencies in the future. Not only does early water heater repair prevent more expensive repairs or even replacements down the road, but it also protects you from any water damage that could occur suddenly if it were not addressed. If you suspect any issues with your water heater, be sure to trust our College Station professionals at Dailey Company. Regular maintenance can also extend the life of your water heater and reduce energy costs by maintaining your water temperature. If noticed early, water heater repairs can be relatively inexpensive; however, if neglected for too long it can lead to more serious water heater issues which cost drastically more time and money to repair or replace.

If you notice any of these signs, contact the pros at Dailey Company. Our licensed, insured and background-checked plumbers will be happy to assist you through the process of repairing or replacing your water heater.

Upgrade to a Tankless Water Heater

If you're tired of running out of hot water or dealing with a bulky and inefficient traditional water heater, it may be time to consider upgrading to a tankless water heater. Tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand, eliminating the need for a storage tank and ensuring a continuous supply of hot water for your home.

Benefits of a tankless water heater include:

  • Endless hot water: With a tankless water heater, you'll never run out of hot water, even if multiple appliances and fixtures are being used simultaneously.
  • Energy efficiency: Tankless water heaters only heat water as it is needed, reducing energy consumption and potentially lowering your utility bills.
  • Space-saving design: Tankless water heaters are compact and can be mounted on the wall, freeing up valuable floor space in your home.
  • Longer lifespan: Tankless water heaters typically have a longer lifespan compared to traditional water heaters, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
  • Reduced risk of water damage: With no storage tank to leak or burst, tankless water heaters minimize the risk of water damage in your home.

Our team at Dailey Company, Inc. specializes in tankless water heater installation and can help you choose the right model for your home and budget. Contact us today to learn more about the benefits of upgrading to a tankless water heater.

Commonly Asked Questions

How often should I flush my water heater?

To maintain the performance and efficiency of your water heater, it is recommended to flush it once a year. Flushing removes sediment and mineral buildup, which can affect the heating efficiency and lifespan of the unit.

Can I repair my water heater myself?

While there are some minor repairs that homeowners can handle, it is generally recommended to hire a professional for water heater repairs. Water heaters involve electrical and gas connections, which can be dangerous if not handled properly. A licensed plumber has the knowledge and experience to safely diagnose and repair water heater issues.

What are the benefits of replacing an old water heater?

Replacing an old water heater can provide several benefits. Newer models are more energy-efficient, which can lead to cost savings on utility bills. They also have improved safety features and reliability. Additionally, a new water heater can provide consistent hot water and reduce the risk of leaks or breakdowns.

  • Are tankless water heaters really more energy efficient?

    Yes. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, tankless systems are 24–34% more efficient for homes using 41 gallons or less of hot water daily. Even in larger households, efficiency can reach 8–14%, especially with ENERGY STAR® certified units.

  • What’s the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
    • Tank Water Heater: Stores and constantly heats water; larger but simpler; typically lower upfront cost.
    • Tankless Water Heater: Heats water only as needed; compact and energy-efficient; higher upfront investment but long-term savings.
  • What size water heater do I need?

    This depends on your household size and hot water usage. For example:

    • 1–2 people: 30–40 gallons
    • 3–4 people: 40–50 gallons
    • 5+ people: 50–80 gallons or a tankless system

    • Frequent Repairs: If you’re calling for service often, it may be more cost-effective to replace.
    • Discolored Water: Rusty or brown water often indicates internal tank corrosion.
    • Leaks: Leaks can lead to water damage and are usually signs of serious internal problems.
