Should I repair or replace my water heater?
Repair makes sense for newer units with a single failed part. Replace when the tank is 8–12+ years old, leaking, or recovering poorly—especially with DuPage hard water. We quote both options upfront.
Hard water in the western suburbs shortens tank life. If you see pooling at the base, rusty water, or the unit is past warranty age, call before a full failure. We handle permit-required replacements end to end.
