I heard the hot water tank life span is about 16 years is that true


gas or electric? its also very regional.

around here 8 years is doing well.

16 wouldnt happen.

they are realtively cheap dependable appliances.

say 500 bucks installed, last 10 years 50 bucks a year less than one
nice candy bar weekly.

all new tanks are much more energy efficent, so buying new is a good $
saver


Not sure of the exact age, but I replaced my electric one around 20
years ago. It is still going. That reminds me, it is long overdue to
be drained and cleaned.
