Repair or Replace?
Gas Water Heater Options
Not every gas water heater problem requires full replacement. Many issues such as failed thermocouples, gas control valves, or ignition components can be repaired safely and cost-effectively when diagnosed correctly.
If your gas water heater is leaking from the tank, showing corrosion, or is over 10 years old, replacement may be the better long-term option. If you are unsure which type of system you have, visit our water heater services page for Hammond or call and we can help identify it.
