Extend the life of your new water heater in Farmington 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 Farmington to keep your unit running efficiently.
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 Farmington home.

Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Our older boiler was making banging noises and losing pressure. The technician diagnosed a failed expansion tank, replaced it, and the system has been silent ever since. Reasonable rate and quick turnaround."
"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."
"Saul and crew are the best. Replaced our water heater, re-piped, and gassed up our kitchen and laundry room. Honest, fair, efficient, and went above and beyond. I could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend. Thank you!"
