On average, water heaters last 8-12 years. Any time after this range, you should consider replacement. How much longer will the other parts last? Would a new system with a new warranty be a better solution?
It is time to replace your unit if you are experiencing any of these symptoms:
Water is leaking from the water heater. The tank has a hole that is too labor-intensive to tear apart and fix.
You hear noises from the water heater when the system turns on. Thick sediment is built up at the bottom of the tank that crackles and makes a noise when the burner heats up.
On an electric system, you notice you run out of water quickly. On electric systems, there are typically multiple heating elements. If one has gone bad, the unit can’t keep up with demands.
Let us walk you through what it looks like to replace your water heater. Gaining the benefits of a warranty and a new system is often hard to beat.
Types of Hot Water Heaters
When it’s time to replace your old electric water heater, you’ll want to choose an energy-efficient option that will meet all your hot water needs. Here are the main types to consider:
Conventional: This stores and heats the water inside an insulated tank.
Tankless: This requires no tank. Water is heated up “on demand” as it travels through the unit.
Hybrid: This combines the traditional tank water heater with an electrical heat pump.

Can It Just Be Repaired?
It isn’t always necessary to replace your leaking water heater. When considering replacement, we will help you through the process. If it isn’t immediately apparent what’s wrong, we’ll go through various checks on your water heater.
These are some of the components that can often fail and might be worth replacing:
Thermocouple
Burner assembly
Stuck gas valve
Once we determine the problem, there are decisions to be made. It really boils down to weighing the cost of the service with the time it can extend the water heater’s life.
These are some questions we ask during the process of deciding to repair or replace:
Do you plan to live in your house longer?
How old is your water heater?
Is your water heater out of warranty?
We will help you walk through this process and weigh your options.
How Do You Make a Water Heater Last (Almost) Forever?
The best maintenance you can perform on your water heater is to have it flushed. The sediment in the tank needs to be removed. We recommend this service be done every year.
But here’s our secret: while most water heaters have a valve for flushing, those little valves simply aren’t large enough to properly let the sediment out of the tank. People believe they are performing maintenance when all they are doing is letting water flow through the system. That serves absolutely no purpose.
So, what do we do? We install a larger valve.
At American Eagle Plumbing, we add a valve that is large enough to let sediment flow freely through with no chance of it staying in the tank. These valves are why our units last much longer and provide extended Flowing Freedom.
But do you know what is better than being able to flush the sediment out?
