Q: How long does a water heater last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-should-i-replace-my-water-heater.htm">How long do water heaters last?</a> The average tank-style hot water heater will last 8 to 12 years, while a tankless water heater may last up to 20 years. Large families that use a lot of hot water will put more stress on the unit, potentially shortening its lifespan. Regular maintenance and repairs can lengthen the unit&rsquo;s lifespan.</p></div>

Q: Can you vent a water heater outside the house?

• <div><p>Typically, only a high-efficiency water heater with an inducer fan can be vented outside the house. Otherwise, your water heater needs to be installed on the inside and vented through the roof. However, certain areas may allow a standard-efficiency water heater to be vented outside. Check your local building codes to be sure.</p></div>

Q: Are new water heaters better than old ones?

• <div><p>Newer models are packed with newer technologies that decrease energy consumption and increase output, giving you more bang for your buck in more bills than one. </p><p>If you&rsquo;re trying to decide whether you want to repair or replace your new heater, consider factors like your utility bills, repair costs, and even your carbon footprint to help you decide whether it makes sense to buy a new one instead.</p></div>

Q: How do you know when your electric hot water heater is going out?

• <div><p>Signs your electric water heater is failing include inconsistent water temperature, reduced hot water supply, longer heating times, or discolored water (rusty or cloudy). Unusual noises like popping or rumbling suggest sediment buildup, while leaks or corrosion around the tank signal structural damage. If your unit is over 10 to 15 years old and experiencing frequent issues, it may be time to replace it.</p></div>
