While most water heaters can last 12 years or longer, they won't do it alone. Like most household appliances, your water heater needs routine inspection and service. An annual inspection and tank flush to clear any sediment buildup are important for its longevity.
The inspection should include testing the press relief valve, checking the condition of the anode rod, and cleaning the intake filter on tankless units. Having a water heater plumber check out your unit annually may increase its longevity and efficiency in providing the water temperatures you want while decreasing the need for repairs and lowering your energy bills.

The choices in sizes and model types of water heaters have expanded drastically over the past couple of decades. Today's water heaters are far more efficient, saving you energy and lowering your environmental footprint.
Electric water heaters may require less upfront cost in purchase and installation, but they are more expensive to run than water heaters powered by gas. Gas water heaters may cost more upfront but are lighter on the pocketbook throughout their longevity.
Some years ago, tankless became all the rage. As the name implies, a tankless unit has no tank to hold hot water but rather heated water on demand, instantly. While more energy efficient, tankless units may not be able to keep up with the hot water demands of a very busy household.
