What Albert Lea homeowners want to know about water heater replacement — answered by our licensed plumbers.
Replace your water heater in Albert Lea 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.
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. Phoenician Plumbing assesses your household demand and recommends the right unit for your Albert Lea home.
Most Albert Lea jurisdictions in MN require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance.

Extend the life of your new water heater in Albert Lea 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.
