Water heaters typically last for between 8-12 years, though a well-maintained unit might perform well for 20 or more. Gas units typically last longer, though in Westfield, the very hard water can wear down your unit a little quicker. Sediment in your tank and mineral buildup in the water lines all combine to put some extra wear and tear on your plumbing systems.
If your water heater is acting up and it’s older than a decade, it’s usually best to schedule a water heater installation. A licensed plumber can assess your home and hot water needs to recommend the best size and style of unit for your home. Factors like the number of bathrooms, the size of your family, and your daily schedule can all impact the type and size of the ideal water heater for your home.
With the right maintenance, you can keep your new water heater in good repair and working optimally, so be sure to ask your installer about ongoing maintenance options.
