So, You Bought a Home. How Old is the Water Heater?

It’s a question that any new homeowner should ask before signing the papers.  The water heater might be one of the first appliances that need to be replaced.  When you were looking at the house, you were cognizant of certain things such as the foundation, the roof, the yard, kitchen appliances, etc., but what about the water heater?

The short answer here is subtract from 10 (maybe 12).  Whatever you discover about the age of the existing water heater, you SHOULD have that many years less than 10 of peak efficiency.  This does not, of course, include extraordinary wear and tear that have caused premature leaks, cracks, and noises from the existing unit.
