The best option depends on available utilities, installation conditions, operating preferences, recovery needs, and budget. Gas and electric models have different connection, venting, and performance requirements.

Repair may be appropriate when a serviceable component has failed and the tank remains in good condition. Replacement may be more practical when the tank leaks, corrosion is extensive, repairs are frequent, or the system no longer meets demand.

Popping or rumbling may be associated with sediment accumulating at the bottom of the tank. A professional should evaluate the tank before maintenance is performed.
