Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

How long a water heater lasts depends on the type. A conventional tanked water heater has an average lifespan of eight to 12 years. Tankless models typically last a little longer, anywhere from 10 to 15 years. Regular maintenance can help you extend the life of your water heater and keep operating costs in check.

A water heater is one of the heaviest hitters in your home, and it needs as much power as possible to help it run efficiently and effectively.

Your water heater should be on its own dedicated circuit breaker, with no other power sources running to it. This is required to meet the National Electric Code–and to ensure it runs as efficiently as possible.

If you want instant hot water and to reduce water waste while improving convenience, a hot water recirculating system is worth it, especially if you find your hot water heater is not hot enough. These systems can save thousands of gallons of water each year so you don't have to wait for hot water at faucets and showers. The upfront investment can be high, especially for systems requiring additional plumbing, but the long-term savings on water bills and added comfort make them a worthwhile upgrade.

Unusual noises, lack of hot water supply, efficiency loss, and visible leaks are signs of necessary replacement beyond mere repair.

While possible, professional assistance is recommended to ensure compliance with local regulations and avoidance of avoidable risks.
