Are you unsure how old your water heater is? Knowing its age is essential for maintenance and planning a replacement before unexpected issues arise. Most water heaters last 10-12 years, so finding out your unit's age can help you avoid a surprise cold shower! Here's how you can check: 1. Look for the Manufacturer's Label: On the side of your water heater, you'll find a label with the brand, model, and serial number. This information often holds the key to determining the age of your unit. 2. Decode the Serial Number: Most manufacturers include the date of manufacture in the serial number. For example, many brands use the first two numbers or letters to indicate the year and month of production. Example: If the serial number starts with A12, "A" could stand for January (the first month of the year), and "12" represents 2012. If your water heater is approaching or exceeding its typical lifespan, it may be time to consider a replacement.
