Even our ancestors as far back as the days of the Roman Empire used hot water for cooking, bathing, clothes washing and even heating indoor spaces during cold winter days. Maybe early examples of water heating were nothing more than a pot placed above a fire; but, one way or another, the water got hot enough for the purpose that the user intended it for.

Fast Forward To Today In Nassau County

Does anyone in Nassau County still live in a “cold water flat” (an apartment with no running hot water supply)? Almost certainly not; not only because most building codes made them illegal (although they used to be commonplace in cities like Chicago or Detroit up to the 1950’s). Cold water flats did not have hot water showers in their bathrooms; instead, those wishing to bathe would heat pots of water on their stoves in order to fill their bathtubs. Any central heating that was installed could not run on hot water; so, kerosene burners, electric space heaters, electric blankets or even hot water bottles had to be used for warmth. Can you imagine the people of Nassau County living like that? I don’t think so.

You Can Boil A Kettle For A Cup Of Tea; BUT ……..!

A constant supply of hot water is but another of the things we almost think of as being part of our birthright. Furthermore, we expect it to be at the required degree of hotness the instant we turn on the faucet. There are now water heaters specifically designed for just about every use that we might wish hot water for:-

  • Instant hot water showers
  • Hot water boilers for sink and tub hot water
  • Boilers to heat water for central heating purposes
  • Swimming pool heaters so we can swim in cooler weather
  • And much more.

The heat source for these can be electricity; burning a fuel; or, even solar power; but, one thing that they all have in common is that someone has to come along and arrange the Hot Water Heater Installation In Nassau County. Regardless of which type of water heater and where you purchased it; it is, usually, a plumbing contractor that you contact for your Hot Water Heater Installation In Nassau County.
