Signs You Need Water Heater Service
Maintaining your water heater keeps it running efficiently and effectively. Ignoring small issues often leads to larger, costlier problems down the road.
Look for these common signs that indicate you should schedule a service:
- Lack of hot water. If your water heater fails to provide hot water, it could be a malfunctioning thermostat, a broken heating element, or a more serious tank issue. At Sal Manzo Plumbing, Heating & Cooling Inc., we will quickly identify the problem and restore your hot water supply.
- Water around the heater tank. Pooling water near your water heater signals a leak or faulty valve that can cause serious water damage. Leaks may result from rust, corrosion, or loose connections. Our team thoroughly inspects your unit, finds the source of the leak, and performs the repairs needed to prevent further damage and expensive fixes.
- Noises from the heater. Loud popping or rumbling noises often mean sediment has built up inside the tank. As sediment heats, it can trap water beneath it and create these sounds. Our team will flush the tank, remove sediment, and complete a full inspection to keep your heater in proper working order.
- Foul odors. If your hot water smells like rotten eggs or has a metallic odor, bacteria growth or rust inside the tank could be to blame. Such odors often result from bacterial contamination, particularly in warmer water. We clean and disinfect your water heater, remove odors, and help ensure your water stays fresh and clean.
- Rusty or muddy water. Discolored water—whether rusty or muddy—suggests internal corrosion or a buildup of sediment. This affects water quality and can lead to severe damage if left unaddressed. If you spot discoloration in your water, call us right away. We will inspect your system, flush the tank, and resolve any corrosion issues so your water stays clean and safe.
If you live in areas like Oyster Bay, Huntington, or Hempstead, you may notice hard water contributing to scale buildup in your water heater. Over time, these minerals can reduce efficiency and even shorten the lifespan of your unit. We recommend periodic inspections for homeowners in these regions, as addressing hard water concerns early can prevent expensive repairs or untimely replacements.

Types of Water Heaters We Install & Service
Gas Water Heaters: Efficient and fast-heating, offering rapid recovery rates. They are an economical choice where natural gas is available.
Electric Water Heaters: A reliable solution for homes without gas. They are often easier to install, fit in tight spaces, and can be integrated with renewable energy. They are common in Long Island apartments.
Tankless Water Heaters: Heat water on-demand, providing endless hot water, saving space, and lowering utility bills by eliminating standby heat loss. They are a popular trend in Long Island's new construction.
Heat Pump Water Heaters: Highly energy-efficient, using electricity to move heat from the air. They are recommended for Long Island homes with basements or utility rooms to reduce long-term energy bills.

FAQ
How Can I Tell if My Water Heater Needs Replacing?
Several signs suggest your water heater may need to be replaced. Major indicators include inconsistent water temperature, rust or sediment in your water, and strange noises from the heater. Age matters; most water heaters last 10-15 years. After that point, efficiency drops and leaks become more likely. When repairs become frequent, consider replacing your unit. Speak to a professional for an assessment of your current system and advice on replacement.
What Are the Benefits of Installing a Tankless Water Heater?
Tankless water heaters provide many advantages for homeowners who want to improve energy use and lower utility bills. These systems heat water as needed, eliminating the storage tank and reducing energy waste. This can lower costs and ensures a steady hot water supply—ideal for larger households or homes with high usage. Tankless units are also compact, take up less space, and typically last longer than standard tank systems.
How Does the Climate in Long Island Affect My Water Heater?
The changing seasons in Long Island affect water heater performance. Cold winters make systems work harder to keep water hot, using more energy and reducing efficiency over time. Humid summers can cause sediment to collect in standard tank heaters. Picking the right model and keeping up with maintenance can offset these challenges and keep your heater operating efficiently all year.
Should I Opt for a Heat Pump Water Heater in Nassau County?
Heat pump water heaters are very efficient, relying on electricity to move heat from the air to water instead of generating it directly. They work best in warmer areas and places where winters are milder. In Nassau County, where energy costs matter, these heaters can lower bills with their high efficiency. However, they may need a little more installation space, often in locations that stay warm, such as basements or garages.
What Maintenance Does a Water Heater Require?
Regular maintenance keeps your water heater running longer and more efficiently. Important steps include checking the pressure relief valve, draining the tank every year to remove sediment, and inspecting the anode rod for corrosion. Adjusting the thermostat to the right temperature also prevents overheating and saves energy. Regular professional checks help catch issues early, preventing expensive repairs or replacements.
