🚿 How long do water heaters actually last?
Most people don’t think about their water heater… until they suddenly have NO hot water 😬
Here’s the reality:
👉 Tank water heaters: 8–12 years
👉 Tankless water heaters: 15–20+ years
If your unit is over 8–10 years old, it might already be on borrowed time—especially with our local water conditions.
⚠️ Watch for these warning signs:
Less hot water than usual
Rumbling or popping noises
Rusty-looking water
Small leaks around the tank
We broke it all down in a simple article so you know what to expect (and how to avoid a surprise breakdown).
