Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from Washington homeowners.
Replace your water heater in Washington 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 Washington 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 Washington 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.
Water heater replacement in Washington typically costs $800 to $1,800 for a standard tank unit including the heater and installation labor. Tankless water heater installation costs $1,500 to $3,500 depending on the unit and installation complexity. Magnet Plumbing provides free replacement estimates so you can make an informed decision about unit type and budget.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"We had a slab leak that nobody else could pinpoint. The Magnet team used proper leak detection equipment and found it under the kitchen in about thirty minutes. The repair was clean, no extra damage to the flooring, and the pricing was honest. Highly recommend."
"They are the best. They come when they say they will, fair pricing, are attentive to detail, protect the floors, are friendly and professional. Very different from plumbers we have used in the past. Thank you Saul!"
