An electric continuous hot water system, also known as an electric tankless water heater, typically lasts 15 to 20 years. The longevity of these systems can depend on factors such as the quality of the unit, proper installation, regular maintenance, and the quality of the water supply.
To operate, water must fall within specified resistivity and conductivity limits. Town water supplies will generally be acceptable but other water supplies should be tested.
