Replaced mine last year at 10 years old. Since yours isn't broken, you might want to consider alternatives to traditional WH. In-line heaters are popular. I went with a hybrid heat pump option. Caught a great price and with the tax credit, total price was only around $1800.
YES-replace.
I agree, 10 years. I too, have a low risk/hassle free tolerance.
