At my last residents could get water heaters with 12 year warranty not pro rated, if it failed got free replacement(2013), evidently they don’t make them like they use too? I was on well water, I usually got free replacement around 8 to 10 year mark.

I’m having hard time figuring why water heater on city water (must be the swamp water down here?) won’t last more than 10 years. The one in my current village home was 18 years old (original heater installed). I replaced it for insurance purposes. I wonder when my ceiling fans or light switches have to be replaced for insurance? Normal water heater prices now run around 500 to 700 bucks.
