What Taos homeowners want to know about water heater replacement — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Replace your water heater in Taos 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.
Water heater replacement in Taos typically costs $800 to $1,800 for a standard tank unit including the heater and installation labor. Tankless water heater installation costs $1,500 to $3,500 depending on the unit and installation complexity. Magnet Plumbing provides free replacement estimates so you can make an informed decision about unit type and budget.
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 Taos home.
Extend the life of your new water heater in Taos 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.

Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"Annual backflow testing done quickly and the paperwork was submitted to the city on our behalf. Totally hands-off for us. Super professional."
"Bought a new house and had a pre-purchase sewer camera inspection done. The plumber walked me through the footage and pointed out one section that would need attention in a few years. Honest assessment, no upsell pressure."
"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."
