Provide Hot Water in Your Home

Most people don’t think about their water heater until it stops working. And when it stops, surely everyone asks the question how often do water heaters need to be replaced?

Replacing the water heater does not have to be done often. If you regularly maintain and service it, it should be replaced every 10 to 15 years. During that period, despite the maintenance, the parts slowly lose their function and more frequent repairs are needed, so it is best to dismantle the old water heater and install a new water heater.

If it is a water heater with a boiler, the replacement time will depend on the material the boiler is made of. If it is made of enameled steel, its service life is much shorter than a water heater with a boiler made of pro-chrome. Enameled boilers will leak much sooner than with a pro-chrome boiler, and when the boiler leaks, it must be replaced. You can prevent this leakage if you regularly flush the boiler from limescale, which accumulates in the boiler over time and thus damages it. However, despite regular maintenance, after a certain number of years, the boiler will leak and then you must install a new water heater.

If you are not sure how often do water heaters need to be replaced, it is best to call a professional plumber who will perform a detailed inspection of your water heater and tell you if it needs to be replaced or if it is still possible to repair this device.
