We have a 19yo heater. We knew before purchasing our home 4 years ago that it would likely need repair but didn’t feel motivated to have it looked at until today. The repair guy from our local company who we use for pool issues said while he could play around and get it to work, it makes more sense to replace due to age and condition.
He gave us a rough estimate to replace for about $3500 and said they even tend to have sales in early spring if we waited.
However, my question is if this is something we could replace on our own? My husband is an engineer in construction and has basic electrical and plumbing knowledge. But I’m not sure if him doing it even saves us that much money and/or if this is too complicated of an issue and should be left to the pros.
