• Best Water Heater?

    From T@T@invalid.invalid to alt.home.repair on Thu Nov 27 22:07:47 2025

    Hi All,

    Now that my refrigerator need fixing, I speculate that the
    next thing to go out will be my water heater, which is
    about 28 years old.

    I do not want a crappy five year water heater.

    Anyone know who makes the longest lived water heaters?

    Many thanks,
    -T

    The last one I bought was a 2008 Lochinvar (natural gas power vent).

    It's been trouble free so far but it's still a teenager.

    I don't know whether this is the best, but I have a natural gas Ruud
    that was installed in 2014. I suspect just like anything else it all
    depends on the amount of preventive maintenance one performs, like
    annual flushing and occasional sacrificial rod replacement.
