Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from Berkeley homeowners.
Replace your water heater in Berkeley 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 Berkeley 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 Berkeley 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 Berkeley 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 Berkeley to keep your unit running efficiently.
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."
"Our main line backed up on a Saturday night and the Magnet Plumbing crew showed up within the hour. They cleared it, camera inspected it, and gave us a quote to fix the damaged section. Professional from start to finish."
"Highly recommend!! Best plumber ever! Very professional, super nice, quick response and excellent quality of work at fair value prices."
