Common questions about water heater replacement in St. Louis.
Replace your water heater in St. Louis 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.
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 St. Louis 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.
Most St. Louis jurisdictions in MI require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance. Magnet Plumbing handles the permit process for St. Louis water heater replacements as part of our installation service, so you do not need to navigate the permit office on your own.
Extend the life of your new water heater in St. Louis 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 St. Louis to keep your unit running efficiently.
Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"Main water line burst and we had a river in the front yard. They isolated the break, got the water back on within a few hours, and replaced the section cleanly the next day. Excellent emergency response."
"Highly recommend!! Best plumber ever! Very professional, super nice, quick response and excellent quality of work at fair value prices."
"We noticed our water bill doubling month over month and could not find anything visible. These guys came out with the leak detection equipment and located a slab leak under the living room in about thirty minutes. The repair was minimally invasive — small access cut, patched afterward, and the bill is back to normal. Really impressed with the professionalism."
