Browse a selection of residential tank water heaters at F.W. Webb. These home units are designed to heat up water and hold it in the tank until ready for use. Residential water heater types include electric, natural gas, and propane; choose the best option based on the energy source in your home.

The lifespan of a tank water heater is approximately 8–12 years, but with proper care and maintenance, a water heater can last up to 15 years or longer.
Age is the biggest factor in determining whether your water heater will soon give out; a heater 10 or more years old may be about to fail. Some common signs of a failing water heater include leakage around the tank, varying temperatures, knocking or banging noises, and cloudy or rusty water.
The water heater tank size you need depends on the number of residents living in the home. A house with three to four residents needs a 50- to 60-gallon water tank. A household with five to seven people requires a 60 to 80-gallon water tank. We recommend a 30-gallon water heater for a home with two or fewer people.
