Should I repair or replace my water heater in Lee's Summit?
It depends on the unit's age, the cost of the specific repair, and whether it's failed before. As a general guideline, a repair costing more than roughly half the price of a new unit — or a tank already past 8-10 years old — usually favors replacement. A local specialist in Lee's Summit can give you a straight answer after a quick inspection rather than guessing from age alone.
