Repair or replace: how to decide

About 90% of Middleton homes are owner-occupied, the highest share of any Idaho town we cover. When the heater is yours, a few things settle the question. A leak from the tank itself means replacement. A failed part on a sound tank under about 8 years old is usually a repair.

In between, think about the cost of the repair against the heater's age. Spending a lot on a 12-year-old tank rarely pays off.

Water

Seven city wells

The City of Middleton's drinking water report says the city draws its water from 7 wells located throughout town. Any well water carries some minerals, and over the years they settle as sediment at the bottom of a tank. Popping or rumbling is the sign.

Winter

Colder than the Boise Airport

NOAA's Emmett station, the nearest with full normals, averages about 131 nights a year at or below freezing and January lows near 23°F. About 8% of Middleton homes are manufactured homes, where water heaters often sit in a closet with an outside door and feel the cold more.

Questions

Middleton water heater questions

Who is the gas company in Middleton, ID?

Intermountain Gas lists Middleton among the communities it serves. If you smell gas, leave first, call 911 from outside, then Intermountain at 800-548-3679.

Is it worth repairing a 12-year-old water heater?

Can I flush my water heater myself?

Yes. Turn off the power or set gas to pilot, connect a hose to the drain valve and run it until the water clears. If the valve won't close afterward, call a plumber.
