When to Replace Your Water Heater
Water heaters don’t last forever. On average, traditional tank systems last about 8–12 years, while tankless models can last 15–20 years with proper care. You may need a replacement if you notice:
- Frequent breakdowns or costly repairs
- Rust-colored water or unpleasant odors
- Leaks around the tank or valves
- Inconsistent water temperatures
- A unit that’s more than a decade old
If your current system is struggling, our team will help you determine whether repair or replacement is the best option.
