Start with the system you have and the problem it needs to solve.
Repair addresses an existing fault. Replacement also involves selecting equipment for your hot-water needs and installation setting. Share what has changed, the unit’s model, and its repair history.
- Repair an existing unit
- Share the model, the issue, and earlier repairs so the condition of the existing installation can be discussed.
- Plan an installation
- Compare the equipment and the complete installation scope, not the unit price alone.
Compare repair and replacement.
Ask what fault has been identified, what a repair would address, and what replacement would include. Equipment history, the work required, and warranty coverage all belong in the comparison.
A single symptom or the unit’s age does not provide a complete assessment. Compare written proposals for the actual work, not just their prices.
What is included in installation?
Confirm the proposed unit, connection changes, access, and responsibility for removing the old equipment. Discuss any required permits or inspections.
Considering a switch to tankless? Review the existing setup and equipment requirements before choosing a unit. Our tankless installation guide covers those considerations.
Equipment details and warranty.
Ask for written product and installation coverage, including exclusions and what to do if a problem develops. The equipment warranty and installation warranty may cover different things.
Have model information or a photograph ready when available without opening the equipment. Include its location and any arrangements needed to reach it.
