Is It Worth Repairing a Water Heater?
In many cases, yes. If your water heater is under 10 years old and experiencing minor issues, repairs can be more cost-effective than a full replacement. GR Plumbing helps clients make informed decisions by evaluating the age, type, and severity of the issue.
Situations where repair makes sense:
- Faulty thermostat or heating element
- Minor leaks from fittings or valves
- Sediment buildup affecting performance
We handle gas water heater repair Los Angeles, electric water heater repair Los Angeles, and tankless water heater repair Los Angeles efficiently and affordably. However, if the tank is corroded or repairs are frequent, replacement may be the better long-term solution.
Do I Need a Permit to Replace a Water Heater in Los Angeles?
Yes. According to California plumbing codes and the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, replacing a water heater requires a permit and compliance with safety regulations. GR Plumbing handles all permit applications and ensures every installation or major repair meets local building codes.
This includes:
- Proper venting
- Earthquake strapping
- Temperature and pressure relief valve
- Correct gas line or electrical connections
Working with professionals ensures your home stays compliant and protected.

He sent out his technician to do the job for me. He removed the nut and the old cartridge, installed the new cartridge and saw that is was leaking, He then spent about 10 minutes cleaning out the calcium deposits in the line so the new cartridge fits snug
