What Is the Lifespan of a Water Heater?

The lifespan of a water heater typically ranges from 8 to 12 years, depending on the type of water heater, maintenance, and usage.

Here’s how long you can expect different types of water heaters to last:

  • Traditional tank water heaters generally last between 8 and 12 years. The lifespan can be shorter if the tank has frequent sediment buildup or is exposed to hard water.
  • Tankless water heaters, which heat water on demand, can last 20 years or more with proper maintenance, though they may need more frequent maintenance (like descaling) depending on water quality.

Regular maintenance (such as flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup, checking the anode rod, and ensuring proper venting) can help extend the life of your water heater. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan and showing signs of failure, such as inconsistent water temperature, leaks, or frequent repairs, it may be time to consider replacement.

Types of Hot Water Heaters 

When choosing a new water heater, it’s important to understand the different types available and how they fit your home’s needs. Each type of water heater offers its own benefits depending on your household’s water usage, energy efficiency goals, and budget. Kelley Brothers can help guide you through your options and recommend the best water heater for your needs.

Tank Water Heaters 

The most traditional and widely used option, tank water heaters store a large volume of heated water in a tank (typically ranging from 30 to 80 gallons). These units maintain a constant supply of hot water and are ideal for households with higher hot water demands. They come in both electric and gas models, with the gas version generally being more energy efficient. However, they can be less energy-efficient than other options due to heat loss from the tank.

Tankless Water Heaters (On-Demand Heaters)

Tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand by heating it as it flows through the unit, meaning they don’t store hot water like traditional models. They are more energy-efficient because they eliminate standby heat loss and only use energy when hot water is needed. Tankless systems are available in both gas and electric models and can be a great option for smaller households or homes with limited space. However, they may require a higher initial investment and can have flow rate limitations when multiple fixtures are in use simultaneously.

Heat Pump Water Heaters (Hybrid Water Heaters)

Heat pump water heaters use electricity to transfer heat from the surrounding air or ground into the water, making them much more energy-efficient than traditional electric water heaters. They work best in moderate climates and can cut energy consumption by up to 50%. These systems tend to have a higher upfront cost, but the savings on energy bills over time make them a smart long-term investment. They do require more space for installation, as they pull air from the surrounding environment to operate.
