Long Beach has less oil heat than any other town we serve, plenty of electric heat, small homes with little room for equipment, and a flood risk that covers nearly the whole city. See also our Long Beach page and water heater repair and installation.
Gas, electric, almost no oil
The Census Bureau's latest five-year survey shows 70% of Long Beach homes heating with utility gas, 17% with electricity and 9% with fuel oil. So both gas and electric water heaters are common here. A gas tank needs a proper vent and a gas line; an electric tank needs its own circuit. In an apartment or condo, the heater may sit in a closet next to living space, where a slow leak can do damage before anyone sees it. We repair and replace both types.
Small spaces
The survey puts the median Long Beach home at 4.9 rooms and the average household at 2.23 people. Smaller households often don't need a big tank, but small homes also leave little room to put one. We size the tank to the people and the bathrooms, and make sure there's room to service it and drain it.
Flood water and heaters
Our overlay of FEMA's flood map puts nearly all of the city's land in the high-risk flood zone. A NYSERDA study for the city says Sandy damaged nearly all of its housing. A water heater that sits in floodwater, especially saltwater, can lose its burner, gas control, thermostat or elements, and the insulation inside the jacket stays wet. Don't relight or switch on a heater that was under water until it's checked. When we replace one in a flood-prone house, we look at where it sits and whether it can go higher.
City water is soft
The city pumps from seven wells in the Lloyd aquifer. Its 2025 report says the Park Place plant aerates the water, filters out iron and adds lime to raise the pH and reduce leaching of lead and copper from household plumbing. Total hardness ran 5.0 to 31.6 mg/L, which is soft, and treated iron ran just 0.02 to 4.0 micrograms per liter. That means less sediment in a tank than in most of Long Island. Soft water can be harder on the tank's anode rod, so checking it on an older heater is worth doing.
Permits for gas equipment
All plumbing in Long Beach needs a city Building Department permit, and the city defines plumbing to include gas pipes and gas-burning equipment. A water heater replacement is permitted work here. If you smell gas, leave and call National Grid at 1-800-490-0045 or 911.
