Most traditional tank water heaters last 8–12 years, depending on usage, water quality, and maintenance. Gas models tend to have a slightly shorter lifespan than electric ones, though both benefit from annual flushing and anode rod inspection to extend service life. If your unit is nearing 10 years old and showing signs of wear, it's likely time for a replacement.

RJ's will assess your bathrooms, fixtures, and daily routines to recommend the right capacity for consistent, reliable hot water without energy waste.
Both options have pros and cons:
