How Old is Your Water Heater?

It is perhaps the most efficient and overlooked appliance in your Far Western Suburban Chicagoland home. For those of you who live in the southern Fox Valley think back at the last time you had a new water heater installed. Bee Plumbing of Sandwich wants to remind you of that this spring.

 

How old should a water heater be? Here is a pretty good “rule of thumb” -

Generally speaking, if your tank water heater is more than 10 years old, it’s just about reached the end of its “shelf life”. A tank water heater could last 12 years or more with maintenance. A tankless water heater can last for more than 20 years.
