Frequently asked questions
Conventional tank water heaters generally last 8 to 12 years with proper maintenance. Tankless systems can last 15 to 20 years or more. Age is one factor in deciding whether to repair or replace.
The right choice depends on your household size, hot water demand, available space, and budget. Tankless systems are more space-efficient and can reduce energy use, but have higher upfront costs. We discuss both options during the assessment.
