Considering whether to repair or replace?

Over time water heaters will break down, which can reduce the efficiency of the entire system. If you're trying to decide whether you should scrap your old water heater for a new one or try to fix it, a good way to determine this is if your water heater repairs cost more than half the cost of a new water heater, it's best to get a replacement. Sooner or later, the cost of a new water heater will be less than the cost of continuing to pay for repairs for your existing unit.
