When your hot water heater tank, boiler or tankless water heater malfunctions, it can throw off your day. The shower runs cold, there is no warm or hot water available to be pumped into your washing machine and it makes routine tasks such as washing hands or doing the dishes, uncomfortable. Plus, a leaking hot water heater has the potential to cause water damage to your home and belongings.

It is generally recommended that a hot water tank be replaced every 10 years to prevent unwanted outages. If your water heater is more than 10 years old, it’s probably reaching the end of its lifespan. Most conventional electric hot water tanks will last 10-15 years maximum. Gas-powered hot water tanks usually breakdown after 8-10 years, while tankless water heaters can last over 15 years with regular maintenance.
