Right sizing, code-compliant venting, isolation valves installed by default. Done once. Done right.
Tankless water heaters are capable of 20-plus year service lives. Most don't get there.
The reason isn't the equipment. It's the install.
A tankless heater installed with the wrong gas line capacity, the wrong vent configuration, no isolation valves, or sizing that doesn't match the household's actual hot water demand will underperform from day one and fail prematurely. The unit isn't broken. The install was.

A properly installed and maintained unit should last 20 years or more — roughly double a tank unit.
Annual descaling recommended for most East Ithaca homes. More frequent with hard water.
Undersizing the gas line, wrong vent configuration, skipping isolation valves, incorrect sizing, ignoring water quality, and choosing price over proper installation are the most common errors that cause premature failure.
