When Should You Replace Your Water Heater?
Age 8–12+ Years
Most tank water heaters have a lifespan of 8–12 years in Florida due to hard water and heat.
Rust or Leaking
Visible rust on the tank or pipes, or water pooling around the base, are clear signs replacement is needed.
Inconsistent Hot Water
If you’re running out of hot water quickly or the temperature fluctuates, the tank may be failing.
