Repair or Replace A Water Heater – Wilton CT
Repair or Replace a Water Heater in Wilton CT
Most people do not think about the water heater until there is a giant puddle in the basement. Eventually, your system will breakdown and you must decide if the best economic choice is to replace or repair it. The decision you make depends on the age and condition of the water heater. It may also depend on your budget. A plumber can help you make the right choice to continue the flow of hot water in your home.
If you have a conventional water heater coming to a 10-13 year life span, replacement is the better option. Not only can repair costs skyrocket, but new models are built with energy-efficient parts. This will save you money long-term and on the monthly water bills. However, if you have a younger system, repairs could be less expensive than purchasing a new one.
There are a limited number of moving parts in a water heater, so the diagnosis is fairly simple:
- Pilot light flickers out
- Heating element fails
- Circuit breaker trips on an electric heater
- Broken thermostat
- The valve begins to stick
Any of these parts are relatively inexpensive to either repair or replace. However, a leaking, old system should promptly be replaced with a newer model. Corrosion occurs over time from water minerals and repairing this problem is not an option.
