Warranty Claim Tips
- Most tank water heater warranties are prorated after year 6 — understand your depreciation schedule
- Tankless units often require annual flushing documentation for warranty coverage
- Keep your receipt and model/serial number in a safe place
HomeScore Pro Tips
- A failed water heater with a voided warranty costs $2,000–$5,000 to replace including labor
- Installing an expansion tank may be required by code and your warranty simultaneously
- Anode rod replacement every 3–5 years extends tank life and protects your warranty
