Is It Worth it To Repair a Hot Water Heater?

Whether it's worth it to repair a hot water heater depends on a few factors. If the heater is relatively new and the repair cost is low, fixing it can be a good choice. However, if your hot water heater is old and has needed several repairs recently, it might be better to invest in a new one.

A good rule of thumb is that if the repair cost is more than half the price of a new heater, replacement is usually smarter. Additionally, a new hot water heater will often be more energy-efficient, which can save you money on your energy bills in the long run.

How Long Should a Water Heater Last in Florida?

In Florida, a typical water heater should last about 8 to 12 years. Factors like the type of water heater, how well it’s maintained, and the quality of the water can all affect its lifespan. For example, tankless water heaters often last longer than traditional tank models. 

Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank to remove sediment and checking the anode rod, can help extend its life. If your water heater is nearing the end of its lifespan and shows signs of leaks or inconsistent heating, it might be time to consider a replacement.

Answers to All Your Questions About Water Heaters

Why don't I have any hot water?

There are a few reasons you might not have hot water. Here are the most common culprits:

  • Tripped breaker: Check your breaker box for a tripped breaker supplying the water heater (electric) or furnace (gas). Reset if tripped, but if it trips again call an electrician.
  • Thermostat: Ensure the water heater thermostat is on and set to a high enough temperature (120-140 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Pilot light out (gas only): If your water heater uses gas, check if the pilot light is out. There could be an ignition problem or a gas supply issue.

If you've checked these and still have no hot water, it's best to call a plumber to diagnose the problem.

Do you have to maintain water heaters?

Yes, it's recommended to maintain your water heater. Regular maintenance helps it run efficiently and extends its lifespan. This typically involves flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup and checking the anode rod, which protects the tank from corrosion. Consult your water heater's manual or manufacturer for specific recommendations, or simply schedule an appointment with Pro-Tech Air Conditioning & Plumbing Service.

How often should you flush your water heater?

Hard water contains high mineral content. While not unsafe for drinking and bathing, these minerals settle at the bottom of your water heater tank, reducing efficiency and water heater life. Flushing your water heater regularly removes this buildup and prolongs the life of the unit.

The flushing frequency for your water heater depends on your water hardness:

  • Standard: Once a year is a good baseline for most areas.
  • Hard water: If you have hard water (as we do here in Orlando), you may need to flush it more often (approximately every six months). 

My water heater can't be fixed and I need a new one. What type should I buy?

Here's a quick rundown to help you decide on a water heater:

Tank vs. Tankless

  • Tank: Stores hot water, ready for use anytime (good for large families). Less efficient, runs out of hot water, takes up space.
  • Tankless: Heats water on demand, endless hot water, saves space, energy efficient. Higher upfront cost, requires higher flow rate, may not be suitable for cold climates.

Fuel Type

  • Electric: Clean, quiet, lower maintenance. Generally less efficient than gas.
  • Gas: Faster heating, more efficient (especially natural gas). Requires venting, flue installation.

Hybrid

  • Combines electric heat pump with traditional tank for efficiency and back-up heating. Complex, expensive upfront cost.

Consider your hot water usage, budget, and climate to make the best choice.
