What this adds up to over time
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical electric water heater's service life at 11 years; run the State HP6-80-DHPT 1** that long and it costs about $2,887 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Is it worth replacing?
The State HP6-80-DHPT 1** runs above its category average. If the electric water heater you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $262/year every year.

The data behind this page
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. The full Electric Water Heater category page shows all 596 electric water heaters ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
