Repairing Vs. Replacing Your Water Heater
If your water heater isn’t working properly, you may be wondering whether you should repair it or replace it entirely. The age of the unit is an important factor. Most water heaters have a lifespan of 8–12 years, and older models nearing or past this range are often better off being replaced, especially if they’ve already been repaired several times. Frequent breakdowns can become costly over time, so upgrading to a new energy-efficient model may save you money in the long run.
The extent of the damage is another key consideration. Minor problems, such as a faulty thermostat or heating element, are usually an easy and affordable fix. However, more serious issues, like a leaking tank, typically mean it’s time for a replacement. Additionally, rising energy bills can signal that your current water heater is outdated or inefficient. Upgrading to a newer model can make a noticeable difference in your utility costs.
Our licensed and insured plumbers are here to help you make the best choice for your home or business. Whether you decide to repair or replace your water heater, you can trust Wayne Hyde Plumbing - College Station to put your needs, preferences, and comfort first.

How to Flush Your Water Heater to Combat Hard Water Buildup
Living in College Station and the surrounding areas means hard water is a fact of life, but with regular water heater maintenance, you can minimize its impact. One key step is flushing your water heater tank to clear out sediment buildup and improve performance.
To flush your water heater’s tank:
- Turn off the water heater. Switch off the power for electric models or set the gas valve to "pilot" for gas units. Then, shut off the cold-water supply to the heater.
- Drain the tank. Attach a garden hose to the drain valve, position the other end somewhere safe to discharge hot water (outdoors is best), and open the valve.
- Flush with fresh water. Once the tank is empty, briefly turn on the cold water supply to flush out the remaining sediment.
- Refill and restart. Close the drain valve, disconnect the hose, and turn the cold-water supply back on. Once the tank is full, restore power or gas to the water heater.
We recommend flushing your water heater once a year to keep it running smoothly. For households with heavy water usage or particularly hard water, you may need to flush the tank more frequently.
Not sure you want to tackle this task yourself? Wayne Hyde Plumbing - College Station offers maintenance services designed to extend the life of your water heater and help you avoid costly repairs.
