What factors does MSP consider when determining price?

Age of your water heater

Older water heaters (10+ years old) can be more expensive to repair because they're no longer covered by the warranty and are more likely to need more extensive repairs compared to younger water heaters.

Replacement parts

Some water heater parts are more expensive to repair or replace than others. A broken pilot light for example may not cost much more than the diagnostic price. A cracked tank on the other hand may require extensive repairs or even a full replacement.

Type of water heater

Tank water heaters come in a variety of fuel types and models. Even certain brands may be more expensive to repair than others due to the cost of certain manufacturer parts. The good news is MSP plumbers are familiar with a huge range of water heater systems, meaning we can complete your repair faster and share a variety of repair options with you based on the needs of your budget.

The plumber you hire

The more experienced the plumber, the more they'll likely charge to repair your water heater. But an experienced plumber will do the repair correctly the first time, which will save you money in the long run.

| Repair or Replace

Not sure whether to repair or replace your water heater?

It’s a fair question. On the one hand, you don’t want to face the upfront cost of a full replacement. On the other hand, you don’t want to pour money into a dying water heater. To help you make the right decision, we’ve provided some tips below.

In general, you should consider replacing your tank water heater (vs. repairing it) if:

Your water heater is more than 10 years old (or less depending on if the system has been properly maintained)
Your utility bills are increasing year after year
Your tank is leaking, or you see water corrosion around the tank
Your water shows discoloration (it’s cloudy or rust-colored)
