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 St. Albans home.

Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Magnet Plumbing with their plumbing projects.
"Quarterly grease trap cleaning for our restaurant. Always on time and they handle the compliance paperwork. One less thing to worry about."
"Smelled gas in the basement late at night and called the emergency line. 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. They even came back the next day to re-verify with the gas detector. Truly appreciated the care taken."
"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."
