The length of time that your residential water heater will operate efficiently depends on a few different things. If you’re not sure if it’s better to repair or replace your water heater, consider these factors:
- The age of the water heater
- The size of the water heater (it might be too small to meet a growing family’s needs)
- The manufacturer
- How much maintenance it has gotten over the years?
- Where the hot water heater was installed
Most hot water heaters last between 11-20 years, but certain factors can speed up the aging process. If you aren’t sure if you need a replacement, we are happy to inspect and evaluate the health of your hot water heater.
