Magnet Plumbing removes your old water heater in Portsmouth, RI 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.
Our licensed Portsmouth plumber installs the new water heater with all code-required components — proper supply line connections, gas or electrical hookup, T&P valve and drain tube, expansion tank if required by local code, and correct venting.
We fill the tank, start the unit, check for leaks at all connections, and verify the water reaches the correct temperature. We walk you through the controls and any maintenance the manufacturer recommends.
What Portsmouth homeowners want to know about water heater replacement — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Replace your water heater in Portsmouth 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.
Yes. Magnet Plumbing converts tank water heater systems to tankless in Portsmouth, RI. The conversion requires confirming adequate gas supply capacity or electrical service, installing proper venting for the new unit, and making connection changes. Our plumbers assess your existing infrastructure and advise on what is required for a successful tankless conversion at your Portsmouth home.
Most Portsmouth jurisdictions in RI require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance. Magnet Plumbing handles the permit process for Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth 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.
Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"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."
"Had a new tankless water heater installed and could not be happier. The plumbers were punctual, clean, and walked me through the warranty and maintenance before leaving. Highly recommend for any water heater project."
"Came out the same day to replace a failed sump pump during a storm. Saved our basement. Fair pricing and very fast response."
