Water Heater Repair in West Philadelphia — questions
Is it worth repairing the water heater in my West Philadelphia home?
It depends on the unit, not the neighbourhood: a component fault on a sound tank within its expected life is a repair, while a leaking tank or repeated faults on an old unit make replacement the better spend. In West Philadelphia, where homes are large Victorian twins and rowhouses, many converted to rentals, units are often older than the household realises, so the unit's age from its rating plate is the first thing checked at diagnosis.
