When it’s time to repipe your home—whether replacing aging lines or planning new construction—the choice between PEX and copper piping can significantly impact cost, longevity, and performance.
As a trusted leader in plumbing solutions, Repipe and Replumb helps homeowners navigate this decision with expert insight.
When it comes to repiping your home, two of the most common materials homeowners consider are PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) and copper. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, and the right choice depends on your budget, water quality, climate, and long-term maintenance preferences.
PEX piping has grown in popularity over the past two decades thanks to its flexibility, ease of installation, and resistance to corrosion. It comes in three main types — PEX-A, PEX-B, and PEX-C — with PEX-A being the highest quality due to its manufacturing process.
Advantages of PEX:
Disadvantages of PEX:
While all PEX types share flexibility and durability, PEX-A is the most flexible and can be repaired more easily using an expansion fitting method. It also has the best freeze-resistance among the three types.
If you want maximum flexibility, easy repairs, and long-term performance, PEX-A is the gold standard.
Copper piping has been the industry standard for decades. Known for its longevity and resistance to bacteria, it remains a favorite among homeowners who want a time-tested material.
Advantages of Copper:
Disadvantages of Copper:
If budget, flexibility, and freeze resistance are your top priorities, PEX-A is hard to beat. It’s especially ideal for homes with complex layouts or in areas with harsh winters.
If longevity, outdoor durability, and proven performance matter most — and your water quality is good — copper may be worth the investment.
