What Should I Check If My Water Heater Stops Working?
There are a few safe checks homeowners can make.
For electric water heaters:
Check the electrical panel for a tripped breaker
For gas water heaters:
Check whether the pilot light is lit
Follow manufacturer instructions if relighting is required
If the unit is leaking, producing rust-colored water, making loud noises, or still not heating properly, professional service is recommended.
When Should a Water Heater Be Repaired vs Replaced?
A water heater can often be repaired if the unit is under 8–10 years old and the issue is limited to components like heating elements, thermostats, or pilot assemblies.
Replacement is usually recommended when:
The tank is leaking
The unit is over 10 years old
Repairs are frequent or costly
Hot water demand has outgrown the system
Our plumbers help you decide based on safety, cost, and long-term reliability.
- For electric water heaters check your electrical panel for a tripped breaker.

Types of Water Heaters
Conventional Tank Water Heater:
Tankless Water Heater:
A tankless water heater is generally considered more energy efficient because they heat water only as it is needed. When the tap is turned on, the heater goes to work and supplies continuous hot water. A tankless water heater often requires less space and can hang on a wall, but may require larger gas lines, special venting or additional electric circuits that add to the upfront costs. However, a tankless water heater has a life expectancy of 15-20 years and may reduce water heating bills by as much as 30%.
