Answers to frequently asked water heater repair questions from Lexington homeowners.
A water heater producing no hot water in Lexington can be caused by a tripped circuit breaker for electric units, a failed pilot light or gas valve for gas units, a burned-out heating element, a failed thermostat, or a tripped high-temperature limit switch. Magnet Plumbing diagnoses the specific cause and repairs it on the same visit whenever possible.
If your water heater in Lexington is under 8 years old and the repair cost is less than 50% of the replacement cost, repair is generally worthwhile. If the unit is over 10 years old, has rusted or corroded components, or has a tank showing signs of failure, replacement is the more economical long-term choice. Magnet Plumbing gives you an honest assessment.
Tank water heaters in Lexington typically last 8 to 12 years with normal use and basic maintenance. Hard water accelerates sediment buildup and reduces lifespan. Annual anode rod inspection and occasional flushing extends tank life. Tankless water heaters generally last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance and periodic descaling.
Yes. Magnet Plumbing services all major tankless water heater brands in Lexington, KY — diagnosing and repairing error codes, flow sensor failures, heat exchanger scale buildup, gas valve malfunctions, and igniter problems. Tankless units can often be repaired rather than replaced, and our plumbers carry common repair components for same-visit repairs when available.

"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."
