Common Water Heater FAQs

Q: How long does a water heater typically last?

A conventional gas water heater will typically last anywhere from 6-12 years, while tankless hot water heaters last considerably longer, with a life expectancy of anywhere from 15-20 years. Overall, this number will depend largely on the brand of hot water heater purchased and the type of water you have in your home. Hard water can shorten the life of your hot water heater, while routine maintenance such as flushing and testing can help to prolong it.

Q: What are some signs that my water heater may need to be replaced?

If your hot water heater is producing ice cold, colored, tinted or rusty water, that’s a tell- tale sign that it’s time to go shopping for a new water heater. A leak from the physical unit may also be an indication that it’s time to replace.

Q: What are the different types of hot water heaters and how do I know what’s right for me?

There are a variety of hot water heaters to choose from, including gas, electric, solar and tankless. Booth Plumbing can help you determine the best option for your needs and budget.
