It depends on your utility setup. Issaquah is served by Puget Sound Energy (PSE) for electricity and Puget Sound Energy (PSE) for gas. If you have gas service, a gas water heater is typically cheaper to operate. All-electric homes should consider a heat pump water heater for maximum savings.

If your unit is under 8 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repair makes sense. If it's 10+ years old, leaking from the tank, or needing frequent repairs, replacement is the better investment.
For 1–2 people: 30–40 gallons. For 3–4 people: 50 gallons. For 5+ people: 75+ gallons or a tankless unit rated for 8+ GPM. Your plumber will size it based on your household's peak hot water demand.
