What changes the price
- Gas or electric: gas units have more parts that can fail (valve, thermocouple, burner).
- Tank or tankless: tankless repairs often need a specialist and cost more per visit.
- Age of the unit: on an older tank with a leak at the bottom, replacement usually makes more sense than repair.
- Parts on hand: a common element or thermostat is often fixed in one visit.

Questions
Is it worth repairing an older water heater?
If the tank itself is leaking, repair usually isn't possible. If it's a part like an element, thermostat or valve, a repair is often much cheaper than a new unit. Your pro can tell you which one you're dealing with.
