It varies between different manufacturers, but the typical lifespan of a water heater is 8-12 years depending on the unit’s design, water quality and maintenance/upkeep.

Below we have listed some ideas you can use to troubleshoot your water heater issues to see if you are able to rectify the issue on your own before calling in one of our Ottawa Plumbers.
Another item you may want to take a peek at is whether a fuse has blown or your breaker has tripped, the reason for your heater to be not working may be as simple as that.

The service rep showed up promptly and was very courteous in explaining the issues at hand with my water heater. Diagnosis was quick and after some routine maintenance the water heater was working again. I would definitely use your service again. Tom
Sent a technician the same day and he arrived on time and was quick to assess the water heater repair. He had to go get a part and returned promptly to fix it. Thank you!
