Replace or Repair Your Heater?
At Bowers Plumbing Company, we understand the importance of keeping your home warm and comfortable, especially during the cold winter months in Wichita. When your heater starts showing signs of trouble, our team can assess the situation to determine whether repair or replacement is the best solution. While repairs may restore your heater’s function, there are times when replacement is a smarter investment in the long run. Several key factors can help guide this decision.
- Age of the System: Heaters over 15 years old often lack modern models' energy efficiency and reliability. Repairs may offer only a temporary fix.
- Frequent Repairs: The costs can quickly increase if your heater requires constant repairs. Investing in a new system can provide peace of mind and long-term savings.
- Energy Bills: A sudden increase in energy costs often indicates declining system efficiency. Newer models are designed to save energy and reduce monthly expenses.
- Uneven Heating: If some rooms are consistently colder than others, it could indicate your system is struggling to keep up, a sign that replacement may be necessary.
- Safety Concerns: Issues such as strange smells, loud noises, or potential carbon monoxide leaks are serious problems that may warrant a system replacement.
In deciding between repair or replacement, consider the advantages of upgrading to a more energy-efficient model, which can often lead to significant savings on utility bills. Additionally, newer systems often offer enhanced features, such as programmable thermostats and improved airflow designs, providing superior comfort and control in your home.
If you’re unsure whether your heater needs repairs or a full replacement, Bowers Plumbing Company is here to help. Our technicians in Wichita will evaluate your system and recommend the most cost-effective and efficient solution to keep your home warm and safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my heater needs repair or replacement?
Several signs indicate your heater might need attention. Suppose you notice unusual noises like banging or rattling, inconsistent heating throughout your home, frequent cycling where the heater turns on and off too often, or a sudden increase in energy bills. In that case, it's time to consider a repair. If your heater is over 15-20 years old, showing signs of rust or corrosion, or requiring frequent repairs, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run.
Can I fix my heater myself?
Some minor heater issues, such as changing air filters or replacing thermostat batteries, can be handled yourself. However, complex repairs involving gas lines, electrical components, or mechanical failures should always be left to a certified professional. Fixing these issues without proper training can be dangerous and may lead to further damage or safety hazards. Hiring a professional ensures the repair is done correctly and safely.
How long does a heater repair service take?
The duration of a heater repair service varies depending on the issue's complexity. Simple repairs, such as replacing a thermostat or igniter, might take an hour or two. More extensive repairs, like replacing a heat exchanger or addressing gas valve problems, could take several hours or even a full day. The technician will provide an estimate after diagnosing the problem.
How can I prepare my home for a heater repair service?
Preparing your home for a heater repair service involves ensuring easy access to the unit. Clear any clutter or obstructions around the heater and thermostat. Turn off the heater and gas supply before the technician arrives. Keep pets and children away from the work area to ensure their safety. If you have any specific concerns or questions, communicate them to the technician beforehand.
