Our proven water heater replacement process delivers reliable results for Ithaca homeowners every time.
Our Ithaca plumber assesses your household hot water usage, existing gas or electrical infrastructure, available space, and budget to recommend the best replacement water heater for your specific situation.
Magnet Plumbing removes your old water heater in Ithaca, NY 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.
We install the new water heater with all required connections — supply and hot lines, gas or electrical, T&P relief valve and discharge tube, expansion tank where required, and proper venting or condensate drain.
Our Ithaca plumber fills the new water heater, starts it up, and monitors the first heating cycle. We check every connection for leaks, verify proper temperature output at fixtures, and walk you through the controls and maintenance schedule.
Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from Ithaca homeowners.
Replace your water heater in Ithaca 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 Ithaca 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 Ithaca 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 Ithaca 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 Ithaca jurisdictions in NY require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance. Magnet Plumbing handles the permit process for Ithaca water heater replacements as part of our installation service, so you do not need to navigate the permit office on your own.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"I called many places to see if someone could come and install a much needed commercial sink at work. Saul called me back and said he could be there in a few hours, and 3 hours later he showed up and installed the sink, faucet and replaced a broken toilet we had."
"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."
"Magnet Plumbing fixed a leaky kitchen faucet and installed a new toilet in the master bath on the same visit. They were in and out in a few hours and cleaned up everything before they left. Will absolutely use them again."
