I had mine replaced as we were adding a gas line to a new pool heater and lanai grill. It was only 8 years old and we saw this as an opportunity to switch to tankless and move it to the outside of the house freeing up enough room in the garage to move an old refrigerator out there. Plus, when we remodeled the bathroom, wife put in a larger soaking tub and the 40 gallon water heater was not keeping up.

And BTW, it’s just a water heater… no need to heat hot water… LOL
