Magnet Plumbing removes your old water heater in San Marcos, TX 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.

What San Marcos homeowners want to know about water heater replacement — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Replace your water heater in San Marcos 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 San Marcos 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 San Marcos to keep your unit running efficiently.
Most San Marcos jurisdictions in TX require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance. Magnet Plumbing handles the permit process for San Marcos water heater replacements as part of our installation service, so you do not need to navigate the permit office on your own.
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 San Marcos 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.
