Q: How often are hot water heaters replaced?

• <div><p>Tank-style hot water heaters need replacing about every six to 15 years, while a tankless model can last 20 years or more. Over time, water heaters fill up with sediment that can start causing issues. If your unit is ten years old, start thinking about a possible replacement. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-flush-my-water-heater.htm">Flushing your tank-style water heater annually</a> and having routine maintenance done can increase the life span of the unit.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a boiler and a water heater interchangeably?

• <div><p>No. Boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different purposes. A water heater will never be able to supply warm water or steam for your central heating system. In most homes, a boiler and a water heater may be combined to provide heating and daily use of hot water. Other homes may opt for a furnace over a boiler for their heating needs.</p></div>

Q: Does installing a water heater yourself void the warranty?

• <div><p>Several things can void the warranty for your water heater. Many water heater manufacturers state that installing your own will void the warranty. However, even if you get away with performing the task yourself, incorrect installation, lack of a building permit, and improper repair work, regardless of licensing status, can all render your water heater unprotected by both the manufacturer's warranty and any installation warranties. </p></div>
