A traditional tank water heater typically lasts 8 to 12 years with proper maintenance, while tankless models can last 15 to 20 years. Factors like water quality, usage patterns, and regular maintenance all affect lifespan. Annual flushing and anode rod inspections are the best ways to maximize your water heater's longevity.

Common warning signs include inconsistent water temperature, discolored or rusty hot water, unusual rumbling or popping noises, water pooling around the base, and a sudden spike in your energy bills. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is best to schedule an inspection before the problem worsens and leads to a more expensive repair or complete failure.

Tankless water heaters cost more upfront but can save 24-34% on energy costs compared to traditional tanks.
