Of course it was gonna be pro rated.
Got tank out and it was nasty bad rusted gooped up sludge came out. Well water can suck.
Dragged it to the depot and got lucky. A meat popsicle was workin returns and couldnt figure anything out so she give me a $400 home depoop card and told me to go get a new one. I think she did the pro rated thing wrong cause new it was $500.
So new hot water heater only cost $185 and a lot of aggravation for me
Of course as it is a new one, none of water or gas lines matched up so that was fun plumbin.
Back in business
But this is only a 5 yr tank so im sure ill be back here in 2 yrs

On most units the serial number will divulge birth date and where it was manufactured warranty ect...
Normally you don't have to bring the whole unit back we just snip the mfg sticker off with snips and bring that back.
Glad you were able to get it done.
You can de scale your hot water tank it will help prolong it's life and will also help it's efficiency.
