Water Heater FAQs

It depends upon the age and severity of the repair need. If your storage-tank water heater is fairly new or the repair bill is under $500, repair is the best option. However, if your water heater is reaching the end of its 10 to 15-year lifespan, or if the repair cost is more than half the cost of replacement, it's more cost-effective to replace it.
The average standard tank water heater installation can costs between $2,000 to $3,000 in the Columbus area, the cost of a new water heater can vary greatly depending on type, size, and manufacturer.
Tankless water heaters are two to three times more expensive than traditional tank water heaters. However, tankless units provide an infinite supply of hot water whenever you need it and use only about half the energy that tank water heaters use, plus they last about twice as long, so tank and tankless water heaters end up costing about the same in the long run.
To prevent future water heater problems, schedule regular maintenance, including annual flushing to remove sediment buildup that can damage the tank and reduce efficiency. Check the anode rod every couple of years to prevent corrosion. Monitor the temperature setting to avoid overheating, which can strain the system. Inspect for leaks around the tank and connections regularly. Additionally, replacing worn-out parts like pressure relief valves before they fail can help prevent major issues. Proper maintenance ensures a longer lifespan and reliable performance.
