How much does water heater repair typically cost for homeowners?

Water heater repair cost depends on the problem, parts, and whether you have a tank or tankless unit. A technician will diagnose first and give a firm, on-site estimate. If a repair exceeds about half the price of a new unit, we recommend considering replacement (the “50% rule”). We offer 24/7 emergency help in Dayton and nearby cities. Current specials include a Water Heater Flush & Safety Check for $39 and a safety inspection for $59.
