How long does a water heater last in Florida?

Tank water heaters in Florida typically last 8-12 years, while tankless water heaters last 15-20 years. Florida hard water accelerates sediment buildup and anode rod corrosion, shortening tank life. Annual flushing and anode rod replacement every 2-3 years can extend your water heater lifespan significantly.

Should I get a tankless water heater in Florida?

Tankless water heaters are an excellent choice for Florida homes. They provide unlimited hot water on demand, last 15-20 years (vs 8-12 for tanks), use 30-40% less energy, and take up minimal space. Installation costs $2,500-$5,000 but the energy savings and longer lifespan offset the higher upfront cost.

Why does my water heater make popping sounds?

Popping or rumbling sounds from your water heater indicate sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. In Brevard County, hard water deposits minerals that trap water beneath the sediment layer — when heated, the water creates steam bubbles that pop. Flushing the tank resolves this. If the sounds are loud or frequent, the buildup may be severe and professional service is recommended.
