How long do water heaters last?

Most traditional tank water heaters last 8–12 years. Tankless models can last 20+ years with proper maintenance.

Yes — especially in California where permits, code compliance, and safety checks are required. We handle everything for you.

What’s the difference between a tankless and regular water heater?
