Water Heater Repair & Installation in Hicksville, NYOil-to-Gas and Basement Installs

The Census Bureau's latest five-year survey shows 50% of Hicksville homes heating with utility gas and 40% with fuel oil. In an oil-heated house, hot water often comes from the boiler, through a coil or an indirect tank. When a house converts to gas, that usually means a new gas water heater and properly sized gas piping to it, plus any gas range or dryer you add. We do the water heater and the gas line work. We don't repair oil boilers, and we don't sell or deliver oil.

The Hicksville Water District has served the community since 1921 and pumps from 14 wells in the Magothy aquifer, according to its 2025 Drinking Water Quality Report. The district adds sodium hydroxide to raise the pH and reduce corrosion of mains and in-house plumbing; its report shows pH of 7.6 to 8.2. It also runs air stripping, carbon (GAC) and advanced oxidation treatment at most of its plants. Total hardness was 22.6 to 67.4 mg/L, which is soft to moderately soft, so heavy scale is less of a problem here than sediment. A tank that rumbles while it heats, or hot water that's cloudy or rusty, is worth flushing or checking.

National Grid is the gas utility on Long Island. For a new gas line from the street or an oil-to-gas conversion, its Natural Gas Conversions line is 1-877-696-4743, weekdays. Inside the house, from the meter to the water heater, the piping is ours. If you ever smell gas, go outside and call National Grid at 1-800-490-0045 or 911.
