The lifespan of the water heater in your home will be dependent on the brand, model, usage patterns, and heater type. Standard tank water heaters feature an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years. On the other hand, tankless water heaters will last up to 20 years or more. As traditional tank water heaters reach the end of their lifespan, they are susceptible to calcium deposits from hard water. This will cause the total size of the tank to shrink and may negatively affect the hot water supply in your home. Cracks may also begin to form near the bottom of your tank water heater as it gets older.

It is not abnormal for the water heater to make noises throughout the standard operation. However, there are a couple of noises to watch out for that may indicate a water heater repair problem. If the water heater is making a popping sound, this is a sign of mineral buildup in the tank. This is caused by materials in the water supply such as calcium, lime, and sand. This mineral buildup can be prevented by periodically draining the minerals from the water heater. If you hear a screeching sound, this is an indicator of an issue with the inlet control valve of the water heater. If this valve is partially closed, it will affect the flow of water and produce a high pitched sound. To eliminate this noise, simply open the valve to ensure water is able to travel to the correct areas of the heater and the home.
