How long do water heaters last?
Traditional tank water heaters last 8–12 years. Tankless units last 15–20 years. Anode rod replacement and flushing extends tank life significantly.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
Replace if the unit is over 10 years old, has rust-colored water, a leaking tank, or requires a major repair. Minor issues like a failed heating element or thermostat are worth repairing on a newer unit.

A standard tank replacement takes 2–3 hours. Tankless conversions take longer — 4–6 hours — as they require gas line or electrical upgrades and new venting.
