Is it time to repair or replace?
Over time water heaters will break down, which can reduce the efficiency of the entire system. If you're trying to decide whether you should scrap your old water heater for a new one or try to fix it, a good way to determine this is if your water heater repairs cost more than half the cost of a new water heater, it's best to get a replacement. In the long run, the cost of the new water heater will outweigh the costs of paying for repairs on your current unit.
