According to Mr. Robert Collins, “Durable
products create happy and loyal customers.”
Mr. Collins of Long Island, New York, was
commenting about his experience of 40 years
with one State brand water heater.
In 1966, Mr. Collins purchased a Princess Series
50-gallon glass-lined State brand gas water
heater from Long Island Lighting Company.
Ironically, the water heater outlasted the utility
company. In 1998, Long Island Power Authority
r
ec
eiv
ed f
eder
al permission to take over Long
Island Lighting Company.
Prior t
o pur
chasing the w
at
er heater, Collins
received hot water from a coil that ran off a
that
cher boiler. When he realized his family was
gr
o
wing, he decided to upgrade to a more
efficient State gas water heater.
Throughout the 40 years, the water heater
never needed repair. Mr. Collins, his wife, and
four children took showers every day and never
ran out of hot water. “My two daughters spent a
lo
t of time in the shower growing up and never
complained of cold water,” Collins said.
In 2006, Mr. Collins decided to replace his water
heater with one made in the same factory as
the original. “I’m proud to support an
American-owned company that builds such a
fine product.” After 40 years of hot water, Mr.
Collins stated, “There was nothing wrong with
the one I had, but I pr
oactively upgraded to a
new, more efficient water heater. Hopefully
it will last just as long!” The original heater is
now on display in the State Water Heaters
marketing department.
“We’ve worked hard to build brand loyalty with
our long-lasting products,” said Jeff Storie,
brand manager at State Water Heaters. “When I
hear of stories like this, it makes me proud to be
part of the State team.”
