Magnet Plumbing removes your old water heater in Silver City, NM 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 Silver City 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.
Common questions about water heater replacement in Silver City.
Replace your water heater in Silver City 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 Silver City, NM. 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 Silver City home.
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 Silver City 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 Silver City jurisdictions in NM require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance. Magnet Plumbing handles the permit process for Silver City water heater replacements as part of our installation service, so you do not need to navigate the permit office on your own.

"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."
"Smelled gas in the basement late at night and called the emergency line. A plumber was dispatched within the hour, located the leak at a corroded fitting on the water heater gas line, and repaired it on the spot. They even came back the next day to re-verify with the gas detector. Truly appreciated the care taken."
"We had a slab leak that nobody else could pinpoint. The Magnet team used proper leak detection equipment and found it under the kitchen in about thirty minutes. The repair was clean, no extra damage to the flooring, and the pricing was honest. Highly recommend."
