Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from Kensington homeowners.
Replace your water heater in Kensington 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.
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 Kensington 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.
Most Kensington jurisdictions in MD require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance. Magnet Plumbing handles the permit process for Kensington water heater replacements as part of our installation service, so you do not need to navigate the permit office on your own.
Standard tank water heater replacement in Kensington typically takes 2 to 3 hours including disconnection, removal, installation, and testing. Tankless water heater installation may take 3 to 5 hours depending on the venting and gas or electrical work required. Magnet Plumbing completes most water heater replacements in Kensington in a single visit with same-day or next-day scheduling.
