Based on the manufacturer's suggested service life, the life expectancy of a water heater is about 8 to 12 years. That varies with the location and design of the unit, quality of installation, maintenance schedule and water quality.
Some signs you need a new water heater are an old unit, rusty water, not enough hot water, noise, or leaks.
An Old Unit. If your water heater is older, you can find its exact age by looking for the serial number on the manufacturer's sticker near its top.
