- Traditional Hot Water Tanks: Available in gas or electric, storage tanks have a lower upfront cost and are ideal for larger households where multiple taps run simultaneously.
- When to Schedule Hot Water Tank Replacement Most hot water tanks have a lifespan of about 10 years. You can check the manufacture date on your unit's label; if it's nearing the decade mark, it is time for a replacement.
-
Pro Tip: Many insurance providers will not cover water damage from a flood if the tank is past its expiry date. Don't risk a leak—replace your tank early to ensure your home stays protected.

Water Heater Replacement
Running out of hot water after only a short period of time is just one of the signs it's time to replace your water heater. Here are a few more warning signs you should keep an eye out for:
- The pilot light on your gas water heater constantly flickers on and off
- The circuit breaker on your electric water heater is always tripped
- The burner or heating elements fails regularly
- The thermostat fails
- The gas valve sticks
