Franklin Lakes is a low-density borough of large homes on wooded, hilly lots, including the well-known Urban Farms section. Houses here are big enough that a single furnace or water heater rarely does the job, and the rolling terrain adds complications for drainage, sump discharge and long buried service lines.

We offer same-day service, on-time arrival and upfront No Worries Pricing on every job, and we handle residential and commercial work.

Franklin Lakes Plumbing & HVAC FAQs
Would a tankless system work for a large house like ours?
It can, but sizing is everything. We calculate simultaneous demand across all fixtures and check that the gas line and venting can support the unit before recommending tankless.
We have two furnaces. Should they be replaced at the same time?
Not automatically. If they were installed together and are the same age, doing both at once saves on labor, but if one has years left we will tell you to wait.
Our sump pump runs constantly on a slope. Is that normal?
Continuous running usually means groundwater is being channeled toward the foundation, or the discharge is dumping close enough to the house to recirculate. We check both before assuming the pump is the problem.
