 Repair or buy new Indirect Water Heater
Author: Gerald (PA)

I have a PAL 41 gallon Allinace Burnham serial #0800542 indirect water heater. There is a slight leak around the bottom plate. The bolts holding the plate are rusty and I am told if I tighten them they may break. This heater is around 20 years old. I am trying to determine what a fix by a professional will cost if in fact the bolts break and they have to be cut off and replaced. Is a more reasonable alternative to purchase a new one and what will be that cost. Any assistance will be appreciated.
