What is the lifespan of a gas water heater and how can you extend it?

The typical lifespan of a gas water heater is 8-12 years. This can depend on the quality of the water heater and how often it is maintained. To extend the life of your gas water heater, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for maintenance. This includes flushing out the tank, checking for leaks, and replacing anode rods and other parts as needed. It can also be helpful to install a water softener to help reduce sediment buildup in the tank. For the best results, hire a professional to inspect, maintain, and repair the water heater as needed.
