Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from Union City homeowners.
Replace your water heater in Union City 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 Union City 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.

"Woke up to a backed-up kitchen sink and called Magnet first thing. Technician was here within two hours, cleared the clog, and walked me through what caused it so it would not happen again. Very professional team."
"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."

A plumber was dispatched within the hour, located the leak at a corroded fitting on the water heater gas line, and repaired it on the spot.
