Some plumbers will refer to the replacement as a "repair" and not install an expansion tank. OP, if you do replace the water heater, I would recommend that you insist on any quote to include an expansion tank. Also, you should get an overflow pan under the water heater, if you don't already have one. These are both code requirements today.
