Usually, we don't think of our hot water heaters until something goes wrong with it, but we use our hot water heaters all day every day, for our dishwasher, washing machine, showers, faucets, and any other hot water appliance. We can make hot water heaters last for their entire lifespan by taking care of them every year, and it's super easy!

Do I have to replace my hot water heater? Can I do it myself?
We recommend that if your hot water heater is older than 10 years or you're seeing any of the above signs, it may be time to replace your hot water heater. Of course, call a licensed and insured professional and have them check it out because they'll be able to tell you if it's a repair or a replacement that needs to happen.
We recommend you never try to replace a hot water heater by yourself. It's extremely dangerous to try to replace a hot water heater if you're not a trained professional because there's a risk of harming yourself because it's a dangerous appliance with hot water that is contained at a high pressure. There are codes and policies that have to be followed when replacing a hot water heater, and these are all best left to the professionals to ensure it's safe and okay to be in your home. If you need to repair or replace your hot water heater, don't try this by yourself because the risk is just too big. Call a licensed and insured professional to help you.
How to make a hot water heater last longer
As we mentioned before, don't try to make a hot water heater last longer than 10 years. Anything after 10 years is just increasing the risk of an explosion inside your home, which can be deadly. However, with a younger unit, you can help it last for up to 10 years by having it serviced every year. A licensed and professional plumber can come to your home and flush out all the sediment from the tank. This will help your hot water heater because it won't have to work as hard, and it will slow down the natural process of erosion. If you'd like your hot water heater to last longer, call a plumber and ask them for their prices to clean and maintain the unit once a year.
