How Long Do Hot Water Systems Last?
Hot water systems are expected to last anywhere between 10-15 years. Your location, usage and the type of hot water system will always determine exactly how long it will survive.
Some parts within the system will last longer than others, which is why a regular yearly service is often the best to pick up any faults.
