What factors should be considered in deciding to replace a water heater?
A. Age of your existing hot water heater is important, climate, amount of hot water you use, and how hard your water is. The average lifespan of a residential hot water heater is between 8 & 12 years but can be reduced through lack of maintenance and heavy use. Another factor to consider is the location of the heater in your home. All hot water heaters will eventually leak, and leaking hot water heaters can make quite a mess!
