Homes in New Haven: what pros run into
Water from Lake Whitney is treated at the Whitney Water Purification Facility. The Livable City Initiative enforces the housing code and licenses landlords.
Freezing nights in winter can crack exposed pipes and outdoor spigots. In older buildings, the water heater may sit in a tight basement corner with old venting, which affects what can replace it.
Incoming water is much colder in winter than in summer, so a heater that kept up in July may fall short in January. Building permit applications are filed online, and paper applications are not accepted.
Who handles what in New Haven
Natural gas in New Haven comes from Southern Connecticut Gas. Gas water heaters need proper venting and a permit when replaced, which in New Haven goes through the Office of Building Inspection and Enforcement. In Connecticut, water heater work is done by plumbers or heating contractors licensed by the Department of Consumer Protection.

What people ask us
Why does my tank make popping noises?
Sediment on the bottom of the tank traps water that boils and pops. Flushing helps, but a very loud tank may be near the end.
What size water heater do I need?
It depends on household size and peak use. A pro can size it based on how many showers and appliances run at once.
Is it normal for a water heater to make popping noises?
Popping or rumbling usually means sediment at the bottom of the tank. Flushing can help, but older tanks may be near the end of their life.
