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.

Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"Fast response, fair price, and they cleared a stubborn bathroom sink clog I had been fighting for a week. Will definitely call again."
"Saul and crew are the best. Replaced our water heater, re-piped, and gassed up our kitchen and laundry room. Honest, fair, efficient, and went above and beyond. I could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend. Thank you!"
"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."
