Standard tank water heaters typically last 10 to 15 years. Tankless water heaters can last 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Units in areas with hard water may have shorter lifespans due to mineral scale buildup.

Rumbling or popping sounds from a water heater are typically caused by sediment buildup on the tank floor. As water heats, it percolates through the sediment layer, causing the noise. Flushing the tank annually reduces sediment buildup and extends heater life.

Standard residential water heater replacement typically takes 2 to 3 hours — removing the old unit, installing the new one, connecting water and gas or electrical lines, and testing. We carry common models on our trucks for same-day installation.

If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair is less than half the cost of replacement, repair is usually the right choice. If it is over 10 years old, requires expensive parts, or has a leaking tank, replacement is typically more economical.
