As always, it depends. If the repairs are too complicated or the parts too expensive for example, it might be more interesting to get your water heater replaced instead. In addition, if your water heater is over 10 years old, it might be more interesting for you to get a newer model such as a high-efficiency water heater. With Harp Home Services, you can be sure that our certified plumbers will give you an honest review of your equipment's status and let you know about the best course of action.
