I've noticed that the hot water coming from the faucet is very cloudy, but the cold seems to be OK. Do you think it's a problem with the hot water heater? I only moved in recently, and the house was empty for about 3 months.

It is most likely just dissolved air. Let it sit for a while and see if it starts to clear, starting from the bottom. The amount of air water can hold is temperature and pressure dependent.

If cloudy and then clears within five minutes it is probably normal: air dissolved in water and is noticeable more in winter months due to the colder water in the supply pipes.
