Depending on the internal quality of parts in water heater and whether you have followed maintenance schedule of draining and flushing the tank every year. You can expect a hot water heater to last between 8 to12 years. Water heater problems normally become self-evident: A hot water faucet fails to summon hot water, you see dripping or puddles near the water heater, or the tank emits strange gurgling or popping sounds.
I have seen other heaters last over 25-30 years.........but that is rare. According to NAIB 1997 and Freddie Mac 2002, they state average life span for an electric water heater is 10-15 years, and a gas one 15-18 years. I think that could be optimistic.
