I'm in the process of addressing some water quality issues, and thought it would probably be a good idea to replace my water heater while I'm at it. My water heater is over 40 years old (1978)! As far as I know, it's original to the house. It's a State Censible 52 gallon. 4500W. (PV 52 2RS7)
I'm guessing this is a ticking time bomb and should be replaced ASAP right? Why has this one lasted so long without leaking?! Most of the new tanks I'm finding are only 6, 9, or 12 year warranty. Of course, I'm sure this one is no longer operating efficiently - but no leaks yet.
I see that State is still around. I was wondering if they still make a reliable heater? Any other recommendations for a heater that will last? Thanks again!
