Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
My electric water heater was installed in 1999, making it 14 years old.
It is working well, thought the water does not seem as hot as it used to be. Still, I can't really complain about it, but I am thinking it is near the end of its useful life, and it would be better to replace it on my schedule rather than the heater's schedule.
What are your experiences with getting a water heater replaced? How long should an electric heater last? Anything to watch out for before buying a new one, besides capacity?
