Not sure? Send it as is. Your tech tells you which.

Your request goes to one licensed local pro at a time, never a list. Repairs are done by independent licensed pros, and you agree the price with them first.

We'll be in touch shortly.

Repair

Usually right when

  • The tank is fairly young
  • One part failed, like a thermostat or element
  • No water around the base

Replace

Usually right when

  • The tank is near the end of its expected life
  • Water is leaking from the tank itself
  • Rusty hot water or the same fault again

What it usually costs, nationally

National ranges, so you know roughly what to expect. Your pro gives you the real price for your home before any work is booked.

Two minutes before you send it

  • Gas tank: is the pilot lit? The small window near the bottom of the tank shows it.
  • Electric tank: is the breaker for the water heater on?
  • Water at the base? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.
  • Gas smell? Leave the house and call 911 or the gas utility first.
