FAQ
Water heater repair questions
Repair or replace my water heater?
Tank heaters often last 8 to 12 years. If it's old or the tank itself leaks, replacing usually makes more sense than repairing.
Why do I have no hot water?
On gas models it's often the pilot or gas valve. On electric models it's often a tripped breaker, element or thermostat.
