Magnet Plumbing removes your old water heater in Austin, MN carefully — draining the tank, disconnecting all utilities safely, and hauling the unit away. We inspect the installation area for any issues that should be addressed before the new unit is installed.
Our licensed Austin plumber installs the new water heater with all code-required components — proper supply line connections, gas or electrical hookup, T&P valve and drain tube, expansion tank if required by local code, and correct venting.
We fill the tank, start the unit, check for leaks at all connections, and verify the water reaches the correct temperature. We walk you through the controls and any maintenance the manufacturer recommends.
Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from Austin homeowners.
Replace your water heater in Austin 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 Austin 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 Austin to keep your unit running efficiently.
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 Austin 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 Austin jurisdictions in MN require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance. Magnet Plumbing handles the permit process for Austin water heater replacements as part of our installation service, so you do not need to navigate the permit office on your own.
Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Magnet Plumbing with their plumbing projects.
"My hot water was not working so they replaced and adjusted the regulator valve, then repaired the shower diverter and replaced the hot and cold valves. Now I can easily have hot water and it feels like a new shower again. They even picked up the parts I had ordered in Hollywood at Ferguson Plumbing Supply."
"Bought a new house and had a pre-purchase sewer camera inspection done. The plumber walked me through the footage and pointed out one section that would need attention in a few years. Honest assessment, no upsell pressure."
"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."
