Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from McDonough homeowners.
Replace your water heater in McDonough 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.
Extend the life of your new water heater in McDonough 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 McDonough to keep your unit running efficiently.
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 McDonough home.
Standard tank water heater replacement in McDonough typically takes 2 to 3 hours including disconnection, removal, installation, and testing. Tankless water heater installation may take 3 to 5 hours depending on the venting and gas or electrical work required. Magnet Plumbing completes most water heater replacements in McDonough in a single visit with same-day or next-day scheduling.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"I never gush over crew, but this company saved us. Plumbing back-ups are a non-starter for most days but on a Friday panic call, Saul picked up and was there first thing. He problem solves. Saul and his team are undeniably the most professional plumbing team I have ever hired. On time, reasonable rate, professional work and communication, great personalities, and they cleaned up when done."
"Had a new tankless water heater installed and could not be happier. The plumbers were punctual, clean, and walked me through the warranty and maintenance before leaving. Highly recommend for any water heater project."
"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."
