How Long Does a Water Heater Last?
Dedicated to providing expert hot water solutions to the Twin Cities area.
The lifespan of your water heater depends on the type you choose. Traditional tank water heaters typically last between 8 – 12 years, while tankless water heaters can have a 20-year lifespan. Electric and gas hot water heaters vary in lifespan, but in general, but generally, gas models last 8 – 12 years, and electric water heaters could last upwards of 10 – 15 years.
Factors that affect your water heater’s lifespan include:
- Water quality: In some cities with abnormally hard water, a water softener and carbon filter can nearly double the otherwise expected life of the water heater.
- Maintenance: All water heaters need maintenance to operate properly. For example, a common issue with tank-style water heaters is sediment buildup that needs to be flushed out regularly.
- Installation: If a unit isn’t installed properly, say with improper venting, shut-offs, or gas/electric energy flow, it can have a shorter lifespan.
- Water usage: Both low water usage and high water usage can both shorten the life of the unit.
- Water pressure: High water pressure will shorten the life of the unit, just like high blood pressure can shorten the life of us humans!
- Brand: It’s true that you get what you pay for—generally speaking. At A.J. Alberts, we pride ourselves on offering the highest quality options that fit your budget and needs.
