Yes, you should replace your water heater immediately if it is 30 years old. Traditional residential storage tank water heaters have an average lifespan of only 8 to 12 years. A unit operating at 30 years old is operating far beyond its design life expectancy, featuring severely degraded internal components, heavy mineral scaling, and extreme risk of a sudden, catastrophic tank rupture and major indoor flood. Proactively replacing it prevents a destructive emergency. Verification: Schedule a licensed plumbing contractor to install a new, modern, energy-efficient water heater.
