Water Heater Repair & Replacement
in Suffolk County, NY

No hot water, a leaking tank, or a water heater that’s simply old enough to replace? I repair and replace water heaters, including gas tank, tankless, and electric or heat pump units.

I’m Luke Salvator, owner of SALCO HVAC. I work out of Lake Grove and I handle every job myself.

When to repair, and when to replace

A neatly installed gas tank water heater

If you have no hot water, lukewarm water, a leaking tank, or a unit that’s making unusual noise, I’ll inspect the equipment and explain your options clearly. A repair can be the right move when the unit is otherwise in good shape. Replacement makes more sense when the tank is leaking, the heater is at the end of its useful life, or you’d be putting good money into a unit that won’t last.

I’ll tell you what I recommend and why, with a clear estimate before work starts. No upselling, and no pressure to decide on the spot.

Tank, tankless, and heat pump water heaters

A wall-hung tankless water heater

I work on gas tank water heaters, tankless units, and electric or heat pump water heaters. If you’re deciding among these for a replacement, I’ll walk you through the tradeoffs for your house — space, fuel type, and how you actually use hot water — and help you pick what fits, not what’s easiest for me to sell.

Financing is available — ask when you call.

This is heating and water-heater work, not a general plumbing service. If the job is a water heater repair or replacement, I can help. If you need broader plumbing work, I’ll tell you that rather than take a job I shouldn’t.

Where I do this work

I’m based in Lake Grove and serve the North Shore and central Suffolk, including Stony Brook and Setauket, Smithtown and St. James, Port Jefferson, Centereach, Selden, Ronkonkoma, Holbrook and Lake Ronkonkoma, Nesconset and Hauppauge, Commack, Holtsville, Medford, Patchogue, and Sayville, Bayport, and Blue Point, and east out to Riverhead, Westhampton, and Quogue. If you’re unsure I cover your town, just ask.

I also repair and install gas furnaces, heat pumps, and boilers, so if more than the water heater needs attention, I can go over that on the same visit when it makes sense.

FAQ

Can you replace a leaking water heater?
Yes. If the tank is leaking, I’ll inspect it and, when replacement is the right call, I can replace the unit and go over the options with you first.
Do you work on tankless water heaters?
Yes. I repair and replace gas tank, tankless, and electric or heat pump water heaters. If you’re considering a switch from one type to another, I’ll tell you whether that’s a good fit for your home.
Do you offer same-day water heater service?
Often during regular hours, if I can get to you and the equipment is available. I’ll be straight with you about timing once I know what the job involves.
What areas do you serve?
