Generally, they are a your normal low end hot water heater. I have seen American Standard units last up to 20 years (like mine) with not problems, and I have seen them not last three years before the tank ruptured.

We have more calls on the Rheem and Brandford Whites than American Standards as far an minor problems.

Pros: Cheap; reasonably reliable; parts readily available.
Cons: Not energy efficient; tank quality - flexible.

When mine goes would I replace it with another American Standard? No, I would install the Bosch tankless water heater.

Have to keep lighting water heater

Clean air intake. Change thermocouple.
American Standard appears to be Bradford White or Rheem product from the one image that appears on the AS site.
Air intake located on side of unit funnels air to arrestor screen located under the combustion burner.
Remove burner and blow out screen with compressed air.
If this is Rheem product, then also inspect for broken glass vial that indicates high-temperature FV event, which might also require other parts to be replaced.

All of a sudden, no hot water. No red light....what to do? Already checked the breaker.

Bottom heating unit is probably burned out from overheating due to sediment in bottom of tank.
