Gas vs. Electric Water Heaters
When choosing between gas and electric water heaters, it’s often best to stick with what your home already has for cost efficiency. Gas water heaters cost more to initially install, especially if you need to run a gas line, but cost less over time due to the low cost of gas — despite being slightly less efficient at converting fuel to heat. Gas heaters can also reheat a depleted tank of water faster than an electric system. As a drawback, they tend to have shorter service lives than electric water heaters and may need more repairs over a lifetime.
Tank vs. Tankless
A tankless water heater forgoes the tank full of preheated water that a traditional water heater uses in favor of rapidly heating water right when you need it as the water passes through the device. A tankless water heater can last much longer due to this change and typically wastes less energy because it does not need to keep a tank warm between uses.
Benefits of Replacing Your Water Heater
If your home has an older water heater, replacing it can be a great idea even if your current water heater still technically works. You’ll benefit from:
- Increased energy-efficiency: A modern system will be more efficient, even if you don’t make the leap to a tankless unit.
- Improved indoor air quality: Older, less efficient heaters can have a negative effect on your home’s indoor air quality, potentially contributing to long-term illness.
- No more showers running cold: Modern water heaters heat faster than older ones, especially older ones that are starting to show their age or are improperly sized, meaning your shower won’t run out nearly as often.
- Increased property value: An old water heater can be a serious drag on the value of your home, while a new one can be a big addition.
- New smart features: Newer water heaters offer substantial improvements in control and convenience over older models, making it easier to keep your hot water flowing reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions
Depending on the model, fuel type, frequency of maintenance, and other factors, a new water heater might have an estimated service life as low as eight to 10 years for gas tank models or as high as 20 for electric tankless water heaters. Routine maintenance, including removal of sediment from your tank and prompt replacement of the anode rod when necessary, can dramatically improve the service life of your water heater. Expansion tanks are usually a good idea even in areas where they are not legally required by code, though you’ll want to discuss the specifics of your situation with a trained plumber.How long will my water heater last?
