Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from South St. Paul homeowners.
Replace your water heater in South St. Paul 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.
Most South St. Paul jurisdictions in MN require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance. Magnet Plumbing handles the permit process for South St. Paul water heater replacements as part of our installation service, so you do not need to navigate the permit office on your own.
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 South St. Paul home.
Standard tank water heater replacement in South St. Paul 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.

Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Been meaning to write this for a while. Our sewer line collapsed and we had three quotes — two wanted to dig up the whole yard, Magnet recommended trenchless. They finished in two days, no damage to the lawn, and the price came in thousands under the other guys. The Magnet team knows what they are doing and I will not hesitate to call them again."
"They are the best. They come when they say they will, fair pricing, are attentive to detail, protect the floors, are friendly and professional. Very different from plumbers we have used in the past. Thank you Saul!"
"Needed a gas line run to a new outdoor kitchen. Magnet did the install, passed inspection first try, and communicated every step of the way. Solid, professional company."
