Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from Metuchen homeowners.
Replace your water heater in Metuchen 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 Metuchen 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 Metuchen 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 Metuchen home.
