How often should you replace a hot water cylinder?
It’s important to know when it’s time to replace your hot water cylinder. The older your cylinder is, the more inefficient it can become. This can cost you increased power bills and experience maintenance if you were to experience a leak from your cylinder in your home!
For context, the average life span for a hot water cylinder is approximately 8-12 years (give or take depending on your current make/model). It’s recommended that you give your hot water cylinder a good check-over regularly when they are reaching the end of its usable life to make sure there are no obvious issues.
