The national average for water heater repair is $588. Repairs typically cost between $220 and $956, however homeowners have spent as little as $100 and as much as $1,300.

The pilot light going out is one of the most prevalent problems with gas water heaters. If this is the case, there may be no need for repairs. It might have been blown out, or your unit may have momentarily lost its gas connection. You can relight this component on your own if you follow safe methods. This can spare you from having to pay a service call charge, which can vary from $45 to $150 per hour. If it doesn't light, there might be a problem with the thermocouple or the valve.

If it's a traditional storage-tank water heater reaching the end of its 10 to 13-year life, it's time to replace it. Newer versions such as tankless units are up to 20% more efficient and can save up to $700 in energy expenditures throughout the unit's lifetime. If your water heater is only a few years old, though, repair may be the best option.

Minor AC repairs will run you about $175 to $250. Larger repairs typically range between $350 and $800, while major repairs can cost over $2000.

Air conditioning repair costs should always be compared to the cost of replacement. If your air conditioner is old or requires repair more than once every few years, you may save money in the long run by replacing it.
