Many tank water heaters last around 8–12 years. Tankless units often last longer. Water quality, maintenance, and sediment buildup all make a difference.
Tank heaters store hot water and are usually less expensive upfront. Tankless heaters heat water as needed, take up less space, and can be more efficient, but installation cost is usually higher.
In many cases, yes, especially for common tank models. Availability depends on the heater type, size, and what is needed to complete the installation properly.
It may be a failing element, burner issue, gas control issue, sediment buildup, or simply a heater that is no longer sized well for the household.
