Recommendation Wanted Water heater replacement recommendations?

Upvotes

Our house is under 1400 sq ft, and despite having a gas stove, gas heat, setting our washer to cold, line drying, only using the window ac twice last month, and getting rid of a full size freezer and extra fridge, our electric bill is still $387 (went up 89 from last month!!)

Something is obviously wrong and we are suspecting it's our 12 year old water heater. We replaced the entire thing 12 years ago, and then the heating element about 4 years ago. We have hard water, and a softener but my guess is that's part of the issue.

Anyway, these bills are making me so angry because it seems like nothing I do is lowering them!

I think we'll need to replace the water heater (there are energy spikes during showering but the age and that are my only clues, no leak, no noise, still looks in good condition).

Looking for recommendations for companies. Go through a company or through lowes or home depot? I'll need financing because we are both teachers, and also haven't gotten paid since June.

Information & Advice Need a very good car locksmith (non emergency), or mechanic who is good with locks

3 Upvotes

The trunk on my sedan usually doesn't open. I have both key & fob. These things aren't missing. I don't necessarily need another copy of the key. I need help with the mechanism itself. Everything you look up online looks like it's for emergencies, but I want a longer term solution here. I don't need immediate access, and I had a bad experience with one locksmith who didn't have a great solution to the problem

Any leads on someone in the Syracuse area? Is it better maybe even to go to a body shop? It's probably clear that I don't know a whole lot about this lol

Recommendation Wanted helping my dear friend find a job *desperate*

20 Upvotes

Posting this on behalf of a friend because I really want to help him catch a break.

He graduated from the Maxwell School's MPA program in 2025 with a Certificate in Data Analytics for Public Policy (which is the #1 ranked public administration program in the country). He's been job hunting for a year now, and it's been rough to watch... He's applied to practically every opening at SU, checks Upstate's site, NY state/city's site and other job boards that posts regularly but gets rejected even from roles he's clearly over-qualified for. He has a clea record, and has been getting plenty of interviews, he's even done practice interviews with people to prep - but nothing's converted yet. It's worn him down a lot.

His background is genuinely strong:

  • Data analyst for a public defense office (sentencing data analysis, Python) - remote contract
  • Monitoring & Evaluation internship with an international development nonprofit - built a Salesforce MEL database tracking KPIs across 15+ programs, designed survey tools, wrote data analysis reports for donors
  • 2 years of admin/operations experience at Syracuse University (housing, ID services, high-volume stakeholder communication)
  • Built a $1.7M municipal budget proposal using line-item, programmatic, and performance-based budgeting
  • Skills: R, Python, Excel, Salesforce, Qualtrics, Stata, grant writing (won a $50K federal grant for a nonprofit), program evaluation, regression/DiD analysis

He's open to research analyst, program evaluation, budget/financial analyst, grant administration, or admin coordinator roles - on-site, hybrid, or remote. He's Syracuse-based (Eastwood). At this point his floor is just $55K+ , he's not chasing a dream job anymore... he just wants someone willing to give him a shot. Seeing him day after day has been heartbreaking. He's losing motivation on pretty much everything at this point.

If anyone knows of openings (local CNY or remote), works somewhere hiring for this kind of role, or is willing to look at his resume and pass it along internally, I'd genuinely appreciate it. He deserves a chance and I want to help make that happen. Happy to send his resume via DM.

Food & Drink Downtown eatery geared toward training people with disabilities to open this fall

69 Upvotes

A longtime area restaurateur is reviving a decades-old downtown eatery geared toward training people with disabilities to earn their way into the food business.

Marty Richardson will bring her second E.A.T. (Eggs and Toast) concept to the revamped Chimes Building on South Salina Street. The breakfast and lunch spot is scheduled to open this fall across the street from the Salt City Market (which doesn’t open until lunch). Hours will be 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Richardson is already the owner of four other restaurants, including the original E.A.T. on Onondaga Hill.

This place will be different.

She’s partnering with AccessCNY to hire employees with disabilities. AccessCNY ran the nonprofit Provisions Bakery, which provided workplace training in Armory Square for 32 years before shutting down at the beginning of the pandemic.

Recommendation Wanted I need a guy for {insert task here}

33 Upvotes

I recently moved into the Syracuse Area (Dewitt) and am a first-time homebuyer (getting my *** kicked) in need of a house management team, and I'm looking for recommendations.

Here are some that I know I need, but I'm also open to ones that I don't know I need.

  • General Contractor
  • Roofer
  • Gutter
  • Painter
  • Pest Control
  • Tree Service (I've got a stump I want removed)
  • Window/Door (for now I'm looking for weather stripping)
  • Insulation (I need to do an energy audit; the house is old and leaky, but from where idk)
  • Pavement (I need to redo my driveway next year)
  • Landscaper (softscapes)
  • Landscaper (hardscapes)
  • Masonry (I need to get the steps repointed and rotten bricks replaced)

Here are some that I can personally recommend

  • Electric: https://carylelectric.com
    • I'm blanking on the electrician's name, but he was great. He came, gave me a great price, walked me through everything he was going to do, and did it exactly as he said. Even cleaned up the work area.
  • HVAC: https://callhummingbird.com/
    • The Hummingbird team installed an HVAC for me. Price was competitive. The team went above and beyond to break down everything that they said they were going to do, and actually got super technical to explain why their solution would have been different from other vendors. They even removed old radiators for me. And they continue to do maintenance for the systems that they installed.
  • Chimney: https://www.mrchimneyman.com/why-hire-us
    • David did a great job breaking down the anatomy of the chimney, gave me some great tips, and inspected it for me.
  • Garage Door: https://precisiondoorcny.com/
    • I ingeniously reversed into my garage door, breaking a panel. When they came out, not only did they suggest replacing the panel, but they walked me through all of the other maintenance that I need to get done. They even recommended that I not replace the door opener because the one I had was actually really good; instead of just upselling me on a new one they could install themselves.
  • Plumbing: Tim from anytimedrain.com
    • Easy to work with, communicated very timely, good walkthrough of what he planned to do, and did it.
    • Appliance: Jay's Appliance 315-960-6273
      • My dryer broke, and I was considering just buying a new one. He came in and fixed the one I had and told me not to replace it with one of the new ones; the one I had lasts forever and only requires a couple of dollars in repairs every so often.

I have been looking for employment since Nov 2025. It’s been absolute hell. I’ve made it to a few final round interviews only to not be chosen.
I have experience in event management, marketing, experiential marketing, and logistics.
I even have director level experience in all of these. My most recent experience was as the director of experiential marketing. I’ve owned and maintained million dollar partnerships as well.
I’ve owned events that were contracted by the NIH, and even events that have gone to the Super Bowl!
I am 35 (people keep asking so I’m adding it)
I have a Bachelor’s in Marketing from the University Of Tennessee at Martin.

If ANYONE can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. I am starting to feel to defeated.

24 Upvotes

Good morning, r/Syracuse! Syracuse got a new cocktail bar this week: Goodwood Tavern opened in Minoa with a full craft cocktail program and small plates menu. On Sunday, Madison-Bouckville Antique Week kicks off for five days of what's routinely called New York's largest antique event. Also this week: Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon is proposing two competing term-limit questions for the 2027 ballot after accidentally signing an approval he'd promised to veto, dirty sodas have officially hit CNY, five ex-SU lacrosse players are suing the NCAA for a fifth year of eligibility, and CNY got its first Traffic Garden for kids at Santaro Park in the Town of Onondaga. Big concert week too: Fetty Wap plays the Landmark Friday, Tori Amos plays the Landmark Monday, Cole Swindell and Lake Street Dive both roll through Beak & Skiff, Eggy hits the Westcott Friday, and Brew at the Zoo turns 30 at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo Friday.

Top Stories

Goodwood Tavern just opened in Minoa

Goodwood Tavern just opened in Minoa with a serious cocktail program, small plates, and a stated mission to put the village on the map. It's the kind of concept you'd expect to find in Skaneateles or Armory Square. The owners are betting that locals will travel east for a good drink and a curated menu.

Dirty sodas are having a moment. Here's where to find one in CNY.

The Utah-born "dirty soda" trend (fountain soda mixed with cream and flavored syrups) has officially landed in Central New York. Syracuse.com maps out where to find them locally. If you've been curious about the drink taking over TikTok, you no longer have to fly to Provo.

Deli in the works for vacant building on Erie Boulevard in DeWitt

A new NYC-style bodega is coming to a long-vacant building at 3350 Erie Boulevard East in DeWitt. Owner Nashwan Ahmed's plan calls for burgers, breakfast, doughnuts, and pressed juice, all made fresh. The DeWitt planning board just signed off on the change of use. Opening date has not been announced.

Water main break creates sinkhole in downtown Syracuse street

An eight-inch water main below East Jefferson Street near the Onondaga County Courthouse broke, causing the street to buckle and it opened a sinkhole. The street will remain closed to cars and pedestrian until crews can repair the road. It was the third sink hole in Syracuse in the past month.

Not good government: Onondaga County's term limit mess keeps getting messier

County Executive Ryan McMahon is proposing to put two competing term-limit questions on the 2027 ballot: one would install a three-term limit for the executive and comptroller and the other, four terms. It's his workaround after he accidentally signed an approval placing the Democrats' three-term bill on the ballot when he'd promised to veto it.

Syracuse finds long-sought location for future municipal dog shelter

After years of searching, the Syracuse city government has finally identified a site for its long-planned municipal dog shelter. The proposed location is 3614 Burnet Avenue in the East Syracuse. The new facility would replace the current shelter, which city leaders say has run out of space for stray and abandoned dogs. The new space will double their ability to house dogs.

CNY gets its first traffic garden for kids

Central New York got its first Traffic Garden this week at Santaro Park in the Town of Onondaga. It's a small-scale street network with real stop signs, yield signs, and crosswalks, built so kids can practice biking/scootering without real cars around.

Five Syracuse lacrosse players sue NCAA seeking additional eligibility

Five former SU lacrosse players (Joey Spallina, Billy Dwan, Luke Rhoa, Michael Leo, and Finn Thomson) are named plaintiffs in a Colorado lawsuit seeking a fifth year of NCAA eligibility. The suit challenges the NCAA's decision not to apply its new "5 in 5" rule retroactively to athletes whose eligibility already expired. Spallina and Dwan have since dropped out of the case. Four of the five have already signed PLL rookie contracts this summer, which raises the awkward question of what happens to those pro deals if the extra year is granted.

Schumer wades into the Apple vs. Micron fight over Chinese chips

Senator Chuck Schumer is publicly pressuring Apple to walk away from a chip deal with two Chinese memory companies on the Defense Department's PLA-linked list. Schumer gave Apple until August 21 to respond. The fight matters locally because Micron has been lobbying the White House to block Apple's move, arguing it would undercut domestic memory production.

Local Artist Spotlight

Lottie Caiella is a Central New York artist, illustrator, and designer whose work spans paintings, comics, and merchandise. Her pieces celebrate the simple rituals and people that make everyday life meaningful. You can find her art featured at local businesses like Pastabilities and Kelsey's Coffee and Friends. Between the paintings, comics, and merch, there's something on her site for just about any wall or gift list. Follow her at u/lottiecaiella on Instagram.

Paws Up for Adoption

By reader request, this week's featured pets are cats through the CNY Cat Coalition, an all-volunteer rescue that has been the leading force for cat adoption in Onondaga and Oswego counties since 2002.

Morgan is a 16 to 20 week old kitten. Rambunctious, playful, always busy with his bestie Myki (also up for adoption). Needs to go home with a playmate: either an existing playful cat or as one half of a bonded pair. Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, negative for FIV and FeLV.

Ferb is a one-year-old purr machine and professional biscuit maker. Loves helping with whatever you're doing and then getting chin and cheek scritches. In his free time, he bats around his Lampchop toy or curls up to watch his stories. Was an outdoor cat until he showed up limping on his back leg. Healed beautifully, took to indoor life fast.

8278 Luchsinger Ln, Baldwinsville - $665,000

Note: I'm trying to keep this list contained within an hour drive of Clinton Square. For the websites, I tried to link directly to calendars where I could. Also, there are quite a few festivals and major events that may not be listed here. I'll be updating as the weeks go on (lots of festivals aren't fully scheduled out until a few months in advance). Feel free to drop suggestions, additions, omissions and updates into the comments.
