The other day I heard a terrible noise and the boiler broke.

There is also water underneath.

If I want to buy a new boiler, is a boiler repair company or Home Depot

better ？



Thank you very much.

Boiler means water heater ？.

I think it's time to replace it.

If you fail to flush the unit once a year to remove sediment,
the heater and heat monitoring sensor will become coated with lime and finally
stop working.

The inside cannot be opened, so it must be replaced.
I can replace it myself, but it is a lot of work and I usually leave it to a contractor.
Homedepot and others will do everything from purchase to installation, but
the cost is quite expensive, and if the unit is about $500, it may end up being close to $1,000
including other costs.

I think replacement is mandatory in your case, but for flushing only, please refer to the following.

Tankless water heater?

A year or two ago, I seriously considered going tankless because my previous tank type was reaching the end of its useful life, but the price of the main unit alone was three or four times that of a tank type, so I decided to go with a tank type again, just for the sake of short-term savings. I was even stingier and replaced the tank by myself again.

I didn't mind the weight so much the last three times, but this time I was too old to put it on the 16-inch-high stand with my hands.

This is the model I am using now.

It weighs 186 lbs, so it won't lift even 1mm if you just hold it. I remember that I put a 2x4 on the edge of the bottom that I opened by tilting it, put the next 2x4 on the other side of the bottom that I opened by pushing the top, and repeat this process to raise it up to 16 inches.

Double Kinman-sama Thank you again for the information.

Dear Tomo311, We decided not to go for the tankless water heater this time because of the price. We are thinking of going for a tankless water heater next time it breaks down.

This time, we asked a contractor to install it and the installation was completed successfully just now.

Although the contractor is not one of the big ones, I was very satisfied with the price, service, and response
. ＾ ＾

Have a nice weekend everyone.
