What Willington homeowners want to know about water heater replacement — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Replace your water heater in Willington when it is over 10 to 12 years old, produces rusty or discolored water indicating internal corrosion, leaks from the tank body, requires frequent repairs, or no longer meets your household hot water demand. A water heater approaching these conditions often fails unexpectedly — replacement before failure avoids an emergency.
For a tank water heater, the right size depends on the number of occupants: 30 to 40 gallons for 1 to 2 people, 40 to 50 gallons for 3 to 4 people, and 50 to 80 gallons for larger households. For tankless units, the required flow rate in GPM determines the correct unit size. Magnet Plumbing assesses your household demand and recommends the right unit for your Willington home.
Tank water heaters cost less upfront and are simpler to install. Tankless units provide endless hot water on demand and typically have lower operating costs, but cost more initially. For most Willington families, a quality tank unit in the correct size is the most cost-effective choice. Our plumbers help you compare the total cost of ownership for your specific situation.
Extend the life of your new water heater in Willington by flushing the tank annually to remove sediment, replacing the anode rod every 3 to 5 years, setting the thermostat to 120°F to reduce mineral buildup and tank stress, and inspecting the T&P valve annually. Magnet Plumbing offers annual water heater maintenance service in Willington to keep your unit running efficiently.
Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"Needed a gas line run to a new outdoor kitchen. Magnet did the install, passed inspection first try, and communicated every step of the way. Solid, professional company."
"Smelled gas in the basement late at night and called the emergency line. A plumber was dispatched within the hour, located the leak at a corroded fitting on the water heater gas line, and repaired it on the spot. They even came back the next day to re-verify with the gas detector. Truly appreciated the care taken."
"Magnet Plumbing fixed a leaky kitchen faucet and installed a new toilet in the master bath on the same visit. They were in and out in a few hours and cleaned up everything before they left. Will absolutely use them again."
