Most traditional tank water heaters last between 8 to 12 years, depending on usage and maintenance. Tankless models tend to have a longer lifespan (up to 20 years) because they heat water on demand and reduce wear. Proper care and timely maintenance can help maximize the life of any water heater.

It’s generally recommended to flush your water heater once a year to remove sediment buildup, which can improve efficiency and extend the unit’s lifespan. However, if you have hard water or notice reduced performance, more frequent flushing might be necessary. Regular maintenance helps keep your water heater running smoothly and prevents costly repairs down the line.

Consider replacing your water heater if you notice leaking, rust-colored water, strange noises, or inconsistent water temperatures. Frequent repairs or an aging unit nearing the end of its lifespan are also signs it’s time for a replacement. Upgrading can improve energy efficiency and ensure you never run out of hot water.

Tankless water heaters heat water only when you need it, providing endless hot water without the standby energy loss of traditional tanks. They’re compact, saving valuable space, and often lower your utility bills due to higher energy efficiency. Plus, they typically last longer, making them a smart long-term investment.
