The middle cluster of four digits in the serial number are used to determine the age. Add 25 to the first two digits for the year of manufacture, and subtract 25 from the second two digits for the week. So the water heater with the serial number shown below was manufactured in the 28th week of 2019.

Stiebel Eltron water heater life expectancy
Many homeowners want a Home Inspector to predict how long their water heater will last. This is simply impossible and beyond the scope of a Home Inspection — depending on the model, installation, maintenance, and fuel source its lifetime could be anywhere between 1 to 20 years or more.
The first step you should take when determining the water heater’s age is to check the manufacturer’s label on the side of the water heater.
The label will often include pertinent information including:
- Manufacturer Name
- Brand Name
- Manufacture Date
- Model Number
- Serial Number
If you can’t determine the installation date of the water heater, it’s worth checking to see if you’re nearing time for a replacement based on the manufactured date/age. You can use the model number in conjunction with the serial number of the unit in order to determine the water heater’s age.
