A typical tank water heater lasts 8 to 12 years; tankless units often run 20+. Our mineral-rich water can shorten that, so regular flushing helps. Past 10 years, start budgeting for replacement.
If the unit is under 8 to 10 years old and one part failed, repair is usually the better value. If the tank is leaking or it keeps failing, replacement saves money over time. We'll give you the honest math first.
Often, yes. For common tank sizes we can frequently diagnose and replace the same day. Call (360) 798-7847 and we'll let you know.
Tankless gives endless hot water, lasts longer, and lowers energy bills, but costs more up front and sometimes needs gas or venting upgrades. We'll tell you whether it's worth it for your home.
