Repair or replace

Thermostats, elements, igniters, gas valves and anode rods are usually one-visit repairs. A leaking tank needs replacement. When you replace, the new heater must be strapped against earthquakes and the job inspected. See water heater repair cost, tankless water heater repair cost and water heater installation code requirements.

Common questions

Why does my water heater need straps?

California requires water heaters to be braced or strapped so they cannot tip in an earthquake and break the gas or water connections.
