Choosing The Right Option
Repair or replace?
If a relatively new system develops a fault, repair may be the most sensible path. However, as systems age, repair costs can begin to stack up and reliability often declines.
Homeowners should consider:
- • Age of the current system
- • Frequency of previous repairs
- • Energy efficiency
- • Household hot water demand
- • Future maintenance expectations
- • Long-term operating costs
