What North Merrick homeowners want to know about water heater replacement — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Replace your water heater in North Merrick 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 North Merrick home.
Most North Merrick jurisdictions in NY require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance.

Extend the life of your new water heater in North Merrick 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.

Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"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."
"Amazing work. Good people. Reliable. On time and efficient. And prices are definitely hard to beat! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"
"We noticed our water bill doubling month over month and could not find anything visible. These guys came out with the leak detection equipment and located a slab leak under the living room in about thirty minutes. The repair was minimally invasive — small access cut, patched afterward, and the bill is back to normal. Really impressed with the professionalism."
