Magnet Plumbing installs your new water heater in Old Town, MD to code — making all gas or electrical connections, installing the T&P relief valve and discharge tube, adding an expansion tank if required, and ensuring proper venting for the unit type.

Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from Old Town homeowners.
Replace your water heater in Old Town 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 Old Town 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 Old Town to keep your unit running efficiently.
Most Old Town 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 Old Town 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 Old Town 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.
Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Magnet Plumbing with their plumbing projects.
"Our 1970s galvanized pipes were failing one joint at a time. Got three bids on a whole-house repipe and these guys were competitive on price and had the best timeline. Seven days start to finish, minimal drywall damage, and water pressure is dramatically better throughout the house. Worth every dollar."
"Main water line burst and we had a river in the front yard. They isolated the break, got the water back on within a few hours, and replaced the section cleanly the next day. Excellent emergency response."
"Installed a new sump pump in our basement before hurricane season and I am so glad I did. The install was clean, the pump runs quietly, and they explained the battery backup option clearly. Great experience."
