Q: What is the cost to replace a hot water heater?

• <div><p>The cost to replace a water heater depends on the type you choose (tank versus tankless) and the fuel type. You can expect to pay anywhere from $880 to $1,780 for a one-to-one replacement. If you&rsquo;re switching from one type or energy source to another, labor costs will rise significantly for the extra amount of work. </p></div>

Q: Should I replace my 20-year-old gas water heater?

• <div><p>If your gas water heater is over 20 years old, it should be replaced. Gas water heaters can last up to 12 years and while they can exceed this expectancy if well-maintained, a heater that's 20 years old would require replacement. The heater is unlikely to run as efficiently as a new model and could be more expensive to do so.</p></div>

Q: Does the age of your water heater affect home insurance?

• <div><p>Your water heater's age can affect your homeowners' insurance policy. Many policies will ask how old the heater is when you first apply for a policy&mdash;and they may make you replace a model that's over 10 years old. </p><p>Even if your policy permits you to have an older heater, it may significantly reduce the amount of protection available. If an older water heater suddenly leaks and causes damage to parts of your home, your policy may not cover it.</p></div>

Q: How much water should come out when draining a water heater?

• <div><p>The average water heater holds between 40 and 60 gallons, but the exact amount of water that comes out during draining will depend on your unit&rsquo;s capacity. The amount of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-drain-water-heater.htm">time it takes to drain a water heater</a> averages from 10 to 30 minutes.</p></div>

Q: How heavy is a water heater?

• <div><p>An average-sized empty water heater weighs around 150 pounds. Tankless water heaters are much lighter, weighing between 10 and 50 pounds. The smaller size and added convenience come at a price, though&mdash;tankless water heaters average about twice the price of their traditional counterparts.</p></div>
