TL;DR
Don't replace a water heater on age alone. Compare the actual failure and tank condition against the repair price and a complete replacement quote. Repair a sound tank with an isolated part failure; replace when the tank leaks, corrosion is advanced, or failures keep recurring.
- Repair: sound tank, isolated component, reasonable cost, parts available
- Replace: tank-body leak, heavy corrosion, repeated failures, or poor repair value
- The '50% rule' is only a rough screen — condition and history matter more
- Get both options in writing before you decide

Lean toward replacement
Tank-body leak, extensive corrosion, poor reliability, obsolete equipment, inadequate capacity, or unfavorable repair economics.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 50-percent rule always correct?+
It is only a rough screen. Tank condition, age, repair history, installation needs, warranties, and expected reliability can matter more than a single percentage.
Should efficiency decide the choice?+
Efficiency can contribute, but projected savings should be compared with equipment and installation cost rather than assumed.
Can I get both options in writing?+
That is the purpose of the Resolv approach: diagnose the condition, explain the practical paths, and show the scope before approval.
