Clue #1: Age. The older the water heater, the more likely it is to break down. As a general rule, a tank type water heater will last, on average 8 to 12 years. With proper maintenance and a little luck, you may be able to nearly double the lifespan of your water heater. But sometimes even with the best care, a water heater will need to be replaced after only a few years.
I do not need an industrial capacity one. Rheemâs hot water heaters have a ten year or so warranty on repairs, but the units have a shorter life if you donât maintain them by draining them to get all the sediment out. You run into that problem with any make or model. Most hot water heaters last ten to fifteen years if properly maintained. Rheemâs hot water heaters last five to ten years. I thought they lasted a lot longer. Traneâs air conditioners last a lot longer than Rheemâs ACs, and there are several brands whose hot water heaters are proportionally longer lived.
