On average, water heaters last seven to ten years. Of course, this number is subject to many things. Without maintenance and prompt plumbing repairs, a water heater's lifespan can be as short as four or five years. Once your home's water heater reaches the five year mark, you should start paying special attention to it and considering whether it's time for a replacement. In many instances, repairs can allow your water heater to last for a longer period, and preventative maintenance is key to increasing your water heater's lifespan.
