Is it true that electric hot water heaters run at far less efficiency as
they age(like me, I guess). If so, is that in the design or just
inevitable e.g. corrosion, buildup on the elements, etc.? Are there more
efficient heaters available? These days it appears that 5 yrs is the life
expectancy of most of them

Why do you want to heat hot water?
