Most traditional tank water heaters last between 8–12 years, depending on water quality, maintenance, and usage. Tankless water heaters can often last 15–20 years or more with proper care. If your water heater is nearing the end of its lifespan, leaks, or needs frequent repair, it may be time to consider replacement.

We look at the age of the unit, the cost of the repair, and the overall condition of the tank. If repairs are minor and the unit is relatively new, repair can make sense. If your heater is older, inefficient, or has a rusted tank, we typically recommend replacement to avoid future leaks and surprise breakdowns.

Tankless water heaters provide endless hot water, take up less space, and can be more energy-efficient than traditional tanks. They usually have a higher upfront cost but can save money over time, especially for households with high hot water usage. We can help you determine whether tankless water heater installation is a good fit for your home.
