Water heater replacement in Dover typically costs $800 to $1,800 for a standard tank unit including the heater and installation labor.

Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"Magnet repiped our entire house last month. Clean install, finished a day ahead of schedule, and they respected our home the whole time. Worth every penny."
"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."
"My hot water was not working so they replaced and adjusted the regulator valve, then repaired the shower diverter and replaced the hot and cold valves. Now I can easily have hot water and it feels like a new shower again. They even picked up the parts I had ordered in Hollywood at Ferguson Plumbing Supply."
