Call 226-756-2116Most tank water heaters in Guelph last 8 to 12 years. If yours is in that range and the only problem is a pilot, thermocouple or element, repair is usually the right call. If the tank itself is leaking, there is rust in the hot water, or it is past 12 years and starting to rumble, replacement is almost always better value.
Guelph's hard municipal water speeds up wear: scale settles in the bottom of the tank, insulates the burner from the water and makes the heater work harder. That is why a tank that pops and rumbles is often one that has never been flushed.

On a gas tank the usual causes are a pilot that has gone out, a failed thermocouple or a faulty gas valve. On an electric tank it is usually a tripped breaker or a burnt-out element. If you have some hot water but it runs out fast, a broken dip tube or heavy sediment is likely.
Typically 8 to 12 years for a tank and 15 to 20 for a tankless unit. Hard water shortens both unless the tank is flushed and the anode rod is checked periodically.
A leak from the tank body is — shut off the cold water supply to the heater and the gas or power, and call. A drip from the relief valve or a fitting is usually repairable and less urgent, but should still be looked at promptly.
